I'm goin' back to new york city   Times square sure will be shinin' bright   I know it sure looks pretty   But I don't go down every night.      I'm gonna take in memphis   You know the one down in tennessee   And if you wanna boogie   Now that's the place to be.      Sittin' in a bar in macon   Drinkin' something called rebel yells   When I thought I heard someone ringing   I guess she's a southern bell.      We just cut out of el paso   It just fries there in that desert sun   And if you've ever been down there man   Then you know why we run.      I got jet lag   And livin' out an overnight bag   Time changes every day   They do things a different way   Back in the u.s.a.      Tryin' hard to make a phone call   "long distance over seas"   "yes ma'am I did say scotland"   "could you spell that again for me please"      You know that it just blew my mind   I'd love to go back there next trip   I sure hope we get some time.      Driving down a detroit freeway   Just lookin' at those concrete walls   Hey but it's a good town to rock'n'roll in   "what do you mean the police closed the God damned hall? "      Flyin' home tomorrow   To be there's gonna be just great   And after some time with my lady   I'm gonna be back to rock'n'roll in the states.         (copyright 1974 mountain/carlin music)
