New York City I was born and raised
And I threw it away
Nothing to do but play guitar all day
And I threw it away
I threw it away to ride horses
But I had to give it up eventually
And I never ever thought it could happen
But you know those horses they were riding me
Oh I threw it away
I had a love you don't find everyday
And I threw it away
Ten thousand dollars I had managed to save
And I threw it away
I threw it away on the ocean
And then I threw it away on the sky
So what do I need with the ocean
And what do I need with the sky
Threw it away
I threw it away
New York City I was born and raised
And I threw it away
Nothing to do but play guitar all day
And I threw it away
I threw it away on the ocean
And then I threw it away on the sky
So what do I need with the ocean
And what do I need with the sky
I threw it away
So sad I threw it away
