[Verse 1]
I love the country, don't get me wrong
Cheap beer and cheatin' songs
Nights spent slow dancin' in the dark
The wet concrete and city lights
Flower shops open all night
Still got a place in my wild heart

[Chorus]
Lord, I know livin' there'll kill me
Still, there ain't nowhere else I'd rather be
When I die, lay me six feet down beneath 14th Street
Bury me in New York City

[Verse 2]
From Chelsea to the Bowery
You know, I left them, but they ain't left mе
You run away, you never really lеave
Still waitin' on the same old train
Every night inside my brain
'Cause everyone drives trucks in Tennessee

[Chorus]
Lord, I know livin' there'll kill me
Still, there ain't nowhere else I'd rather be
When I die, lay me six feet down beneath West 4th Street
Oh, bury me in New York City
[Instrumental Break]
Hey

[Chorus]
Lord, I know livin' there'll kill me
Still, there ain't nowhere else I'd rather be
When I die, lay me six feet down beneath 14th Street
Oh, bury me in New York City

[Outro]
Won't you bury me in New York City?
Hey
