Bon Jovi Goodnight New York song lyrics
Morning comes crashing like a rock in the window
Jackhammer banging on the hot concrete
Take your stand (hey!), move it man
It's a backtalk sidewalk symphony
Uber cars, yellow cabs, thick as smoke
Painted girls and metre maids will leave you broke
Sax man blowing, shooting through my veins
There's a rhythm to the racket that's intoxicating
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don't ever close your eyes
If the street could talk, New York New York
So fine they named you twice
Your face, your brains, no other place
From east to west, these streets are blessed
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York, goodnight
Starbucks, FedEx trucks on every street and avenue
Broadway lights shining bright, make everybody beautiful
Walking on the High Line, reaching for the skyline
If Alexander Hamilton could see it all
Garbage trucks backing up, beep beep beep
Dogs barking on the balcony, the kids can't sleep
Scaffolds, potholes, families on their bicycles
Fast trains, bus lanes, welcome to the carnival
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don't ever close your eyes
If the street could talk, New York New York
So fine they named you twice
Your face, your brains, no other place
From east to west, these streets are blessed
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York, goodnight
The bravest and the finest
My hand's on my heart for you
To the ones who paid the price and to those who saw us through
It's late, I'm getting weary
So for now I'll say
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don't ever close your eyes
If the street could talk, New York New York
So fine they named you twice
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don't ever close your eyes
If the street could talk, New York New York
So fine they named you twice
Your face, your brains, no other place
From east to west, these streets are blessed
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York, goodnight
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York, goodnight
So goodnight New York, sleep tight New York, goodnight
