The Mavericks - Ride with Me lyrics

When I’m in New York City, I never sleep a wink When I’m in New York City, I never get to sleep a wink But when I cross that river all I want to do is drink Well I have been to Chicago, they said it was the promised land You know I’ve been to Chicago, they said it was the promised land When I arrived as a child they promised that I’d leave a man Phoenix, Arizona; Memphis, Tennessee Southern California, Washington DC I gotta go… a whole world to see So pack your bags up baby Come along and ride with me I’m gonna get to Kansas City And make my way to 12th and Vine I’m going to get to Kansas City And make my way to 12th and Vine Where all the girls are pretty But I already made one mine Well Amarillo Texas is just around the bend Off to Albuquerque on the road that never ends I gotta go… a whole world to see So pack your bags up baby Come along and ride with me The night down in the quarter that ended in a fight Someone got their a** kicked no matter who was right I gotta go… a whole world to see So pack your bags up baby Come along and ride with me
