Story behind the song
I was playing at a small Sports bar in memphis, when a girl from the audience started up a conversation with me, and soon found out i was originaly from New York... she what is someone from New york city doin playing Cowboy in tennessee? Well that got my songwriter's ear a twitchin and this song is what ended up out of that... one of my best....
Lyrics
Well I come from the land of the New York Second, Where everybody’s moving too fast
Buildings so high that they kiss the sky
I think I once saw some grass
Well the cardiacle strife of the busy city life, You know it wasn’t hap’nin for me
So I got me some boots and this ol’ cowboy hat,
and went seachin for the land of the free
So I headed South,
just pointed my boots and let ‘em take the lead
I was born in New York City hoss,
but thank God I ended up in Tennessee
Well I tried my hand at the suit and tie plan,
but friends let me tell ya what,
All that Wall Street chatter
was all that seemed to matter,
it was nuthin but a pain in the butt
They got all day nights and all night days
and they squeeze a little time in between
this may sound funny, makin all that money,
but brother, that’s not my scene
So I headed South,
just pointed my boots and let ‘em take the lead
I was born in New York City hoss,
but thank God I ended up in Tennessee
(lead)
You’z guys turned to ya’lls in no time at all, It’s amazin how quick I fit in
Got a friend Bubba and his wife Bubba-lou,
They got no family, but they got lotsa kin
Three Cats, Five Dogs livin under the porch,
two horses and a pot-bellied pig
This may not be the city,
but I’m sure sittin pretty,
Yeah, I'm in the South,
I just pointed my boots and now I'm here to stay.
I was born in New York City hoss,
but thank God I ended up in Tennessee
They call me a damn ol’ Yankee man,
but I found heaven right here in Memphis Tennessee
