《Homestate》歌词

[00:00:01] Homestate - Allen Taylor

[00:00:07] Sometimes when I'm driving late in the night

[00:00:10] When there's that special kind of early morning light

[00:00:13] When the evergreen stands out in the dark

[00:00:17] I'm thinking about that northern state of New York and New York

[00:00:28] New York state was good to me

[00:00:31] 'Cause I found a wife and made a family

[00:00:35] If anyone asks what it means to me

[00:00:38] Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York

[00:00:45] New York

[00:00:49] New York city's just a part of the state

[00:00:52] Some people hate it, I think it's great

[00:00:56] It's an honest city, won't tell you a lie

[00:00:59] And take your money and look you straight in the eye, New York

[00:01:10] When the city got too much to take

[00:01:13] When the pressure built up and we thought we'd break

[00:01:17] When everyone else was a'heading south

[00:01:20] We went our own way and we a'headed north of New York

[00:01:31] New York state was good to me

[00:01:34] 'Cause I found a wife and made a family

[00:01:38] If anyone asks what it means to me

[00:01:41] Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York

[00:01:48] New York

[00:01:52] Well I wish I could take that trip again

[00:01:55] Five hundred miles up to Lake Champlain

[00:01:59] Fishing for supper in a home made boat

[00:02:02] The love we made and the songs I wrote of New York

[00:02:13] And we rented a house on the Long Island sand

[00:02:16] Where work in the city was close at hand

[00:02:20] In the summer we swam in the Montauk Bay

[00:02:23] And England felt so far away from New York

[00:02:34] New York state was good to me

[00:02:37] 'Cause I found a wife and made a family

[00:02:41] If anyone asks what it means to me

[00:02:44] Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York

[00:02:51] New York

[00:02:55] And it may sound strange that an Englishman

[00:02:58] Should lose his heart to a foreign land

[00:03:02] Maybe it's because I've a'been away

[00:03:05] Too long from her,

[00:03:05] it's hard to say, New York

[00:03:16] New York state was good to me

[00:03:19] 'Cause I found a wife and made a family

[00:03:23] If anyone asks what it means to me

[00:03:26] Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York

[00:03:33] New York

[00:03:37] New York
