A                                              A 
I remember learning how to make a quick hundred bucks 
C               Bm        D       A 
Sleeping in the back of a pickup truck 

I remember looking through the barrel of a loaded gun 
Texas cops and cooking drugs 


D                G          A 
But look at us in New York City 
Everybody's listening to me. 
Here we are in New York City 
Rock and roll in New York City - alright! 

I remember begging my best friend for my life 
He caught me and his wife with a pocket knife 
I remember getting picked up for a petty crime 
And getting locked up for holding a dime 

But look at us in New York City 
Everybody's listening to me. 
Here we are in New York City 
Rock and roll in New York City
