Lori Triplett - If My Name Were New York Lyrics

Went down to Carolina in the fall
Late November leaves barely hanging on
Those early sunset shadows standing tall
I spent all day crossing county lines
Thought if traffic's good, I'd be there by 9:00
When I finally made it to your door
Guess I expected a little more
Cause all you talked about were those city lights
Like no other place you've been
When I saw your eyes shining so bright
It left me wondering
At the end of the day,
Could you say that you need me
Like you need those east coast shores
Would you love me a little more
If my name were New York
Blue Ridge Mountains back in your rearview
You're chasing somewhere else,
I'm still chasing you
You don't have money for us
But you've got money for your new tattoo
So just keep going to her instead of coming to me
I won't be jealous of a city that never sleeps.
I'm done wishing that you were here
Sleeping next to me
Cause all you talk about are those city lights
Like no other place you've been
When I saw your eyes shining so bright
I should've known it then
At the end of the day,
You can't say that you need me
Like you need those east coast shores.
Would you love me a little more
If my name were New York
If my name were New York
Skylines in your eyes
You got no time for me
Skylines (You just talk and talk)
In your eyes (Am I not what you wanted)
You got no time (You're just talk)
For me
Cause all you talk about are those city lights
Like no other place you've been
When I saw your eyes shining so bright
I should've known it then
At the end of the day,
You can't say that you need me
Like you need those east coast shores
Would you love me a little more
Would you try a little more
If my name were New York
Would you love me, tell me would you love me
Would you love me
If my name were New York
Would you love me, tell me would you love me
Would you love me
If my name were New York
Would you love me, tell me would you love me more
Would you love me
If my name were New York
Would you love me, tell me would you love me more
Would you love me
If my name were New York
