Been a year since I was here
on the street
I'm just passing my time away.
To the left and to the right
a town of stone grows to the sky
and it's out of sight in a fading light.
Here I am again in the city
with a fist full of dollars
and baby you better believe:
I'm back
back in the New York groove.
I'm back
back in the New York groove.
I'm back
back in the New York groove
I'm back in the New York groove
in the New York groove.
In the back of a Cadillac
with a lady by my side
