Sometimes when I'm driving late in the night
When there's that special kind of early morning light
When the evergreen stands out in the dark
I'm thinking about that northern state of New York, New York
New York state was good to me
'Cause I found a wife and made a family
If anyone asks what it means to me
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll ever be
New York, New York
New York City's just a part of the state
Some people hate it, I think it's great
It's an honest city, won't tell you a lie
It'll take your money, look you straight in the eye
New York
When the city got too much to take
When the pressure built up and we thought we'd break
When everyone else was heading south
We went our own way, we headed north of New York
New York state was good to me
'Cause I found a wife and made a family
If anyone asks what it means to me
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll ever be
New York, New York
I wish I could take that trip again
Five hundred miles up the Lake Champlain
Fishing for supper in a homemade boat
The love we made and the songs I wrote of New York
Then we rented a house on the Long Island sand
When work in the city was close at hand
In the summer, we swam in Montauk Bay
And England felt so far away from New York
New York state was good to me
'Cause I found a wife and made a family
If anyone asks what it means to me
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll ever be
New York, New York
And it may sound strange that an English man
Should lose his heart to a foreign land
Maybe it's because I've been away too long
From her, it's hard to say New York
New York state was good to me
'Cause I found a wife and made a family
If anyone asks what it means to me
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll ever be
New York, New York, New York
