lyrics

Lyrics:

Left my girl in Tulsa, headed for the New York lights
Me and the boys would be rock stars, with models by our side
If she had come with me, I'd have made her my bride
But I could not convince her, so now I sleep alone at night

Didn't take us too long, for the train to come off the tracks
Eddie left for London, and he's never coming back

I still miss my baby, I tried to get myself on home
But I ain't been there lately, our burning love's gone cold
Now she's in California, living with another man
And I'm stuck in New York City, without a woman or a band
I'm stuck in New York City, without a woman or a band
