[Verse 1]
Roads, miles and miles of blacktop road
Hop on the bus and let the wheels roll down a blacktop road
Friends, baby I'm out with my good friends
Singing songs and carrying on with them, baby I'm out with my good friends
Loud, we're playing our music loud
Trying to win a few fans in the crowds, playing our music loud

[Chorus]
When the lights go down tonight in New York City
And my heart fades to blue
Just know my last thought is girl, you're so damn pretty
And I wish I was lying next to you

[Verse 2]
And dreams, you said go and chase my dreams
But it ain't fair for me to ask for you to wait, while I'm out chasing dreams
Alone, girl I know you feel alone
But you hide it so well every time on the phone, girl, I know you're alone

[Chorus]
When the lights go down tonight in New York City
And my heart fades to blue
Just know my last thought is girl, you're so damn pretty
And I wish I was lying next to you
[Bridge]
Tough, girl you're so damn tough
With all your sacrifice for us, girl, you're so damn tough

[Chorus]
When the lights go down tonight in New York City
And my heart fades to blue
Just know my last thought is girl, you're so damn pretty
And I wish I was lying next to you

[Outro]
Wish I was lying next to you
