Song Description

Life can be hard in New York City, but it's worth it

Lyrics

New York Rain

They called you a shooting star
Hanging out in a small town bar
So you packed your bags and tuned your old guitar
And bought a ticket for a one way dream
New York?s the place they say you ought to be
Bright lights, city nights, it?s really something to see
They say it?s the place to make history
But what they don?t say, is sometimes it rains
In New York it rains. Not like anything you?ve seen
When it rains, it?s harder than anywhere you?ve been
When it rains, it can wash away your dreams
When it rains in New York
Found you a job in a small cafe
Just a little something till you?re on your way
You tell yourself a smile seems a small price to pay
At least it keeps you out of the rain
But so many people they just pass you by
Push you aside and pay you no mind
If you slipped between the sidewalk cracks
Would anyone miss you, if you never came back
In New York it rains. Not like anything you?ve seen
When it rains, it?s harder than anywhere you?ve been
When it rains, it can wash away your dreams
When it rains in New York, don?t they tell you it rains
But you?ll find the streets aren?t lined with gold
And it ain?t quite like the stories they told
The lights might be bright but they can seem so cold
But once you?ve felt that rain on your face
You?ll know there?s no turning back from this place
In New York it rains. Not like anything you?ve seen
When it rains, it?s harder than anywhere you?ve been
When it rains, you?ve got to hold on to your dreams
When it rains in New York
