Lyrics

PLEASE DON'T FALL IN LOVE IN NEW YORK CITY


They tell me that you?re leaving for the big time
Where they all drink champagne instead of beer
When the parties are all over and you need a hand to hold
This country boy will still be waiting here

They tell me Nashville Town could never hold you
Well I guess that?s something I have always known
When the glitter and the bright lights fade to teardrops in your eye
This country boy will welcome you back home

So please don?t fall in love in New York City
Girl since you?re gone it?s a pity
And please don?t let them steal your love from me
And remember while you?re there this country boy?s in love with you
And no one could love you like I do

They?ve promised things to you I cannot offer
And I won?t say that it?s too good to be true
When the heartbeat of the big time makes you feel you don?t belong
This country heart will still belong to you

CHORUS

They have no place for me in New York City
Just a country boy is all I?ll ever be
When those hard cold city sidewalks make you think of country roads
These country roads will lead you back to me

CHORUS

And remember while you?re there this country boy?s in love with you
And no one could love you like I do
And no one could love you like I do
