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
