I'm gonna make my way to L.A. just to tell my friends I've been Spend sleepless nights in Memphis, I'll be broke by New Orleans I might lose myself to whiskey and my dear friend Mr Jack But I'll find me a girl in New York and I won't be coming back Well I gave my heart to London but the streets they wore me thin Like the songs of a thousands buskers whispered lonely to the wind So I'll say farewell to England and I'll kiss my Union Jack And I'll find me a girl in New York and I won't be coming back And I stare down the horizon As it carries the boats out to see My cold, wet, tiny island Will always mean something to me But I'll make my way to L.A. just to tell my friends I've been Spend sleepless nights in Memphis, I'll be broke by New Orleans Might lose myself to whiskey and my dear friend Mr Jack But I'll find me a girl in New York and I won't be coming back
