New York's not my home   Jim Croce

Well, things were spinning round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me

Been in so many places
You know I've run so many races
And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
And something is just not right

Cause I know that I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
Cause, New York's not my home

Though all the streets are crowded
There's something strange about it
I lived there about a year and I never once felt at home

I thought I'd make the big time
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
And now I'm telling you
That they were not the nice kind

And it's been so long since I have felt fine

That's the reason that I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
Cause New York's not my home

That's the reason that I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
Cause New York's not my home
紐約不是我的家   吉姆克羅奇

往事在我身邊流轉
所有的思緒彷彿一片陰霾
不禁讓我對自己的過去產生懷疑

走遍各地
你知道的,我征戰四方
夜裡,望著人們空洞茫然的臉龐
總有些事未能如你所願

因為我明白我應該離開這裡
我是如此孤單
難道你不明白我早該離開這裡
因為,紐約不是我的家

雖然街道也是擁擠不堪
但總覺得有些陌生
我住在那兒一年了,從來沒有回家的感覺

我曾以為可以闖出一片天
我以驚人的速度學會許多事情
現在,我可以告訴你
那些都不是什麼好事

已經很久了,我不再感到順心如意

那正是我想離開這裡的原因
我是如此孤單
難道你不明白我早該離開這裡
因為,紐約不是我的家

那正是我想離開這裡的原因
我是如此孤單
難道你不明白我早該離開這裡
因為,紐約不是我的家
