Lyrics

I guess this is it I guess this is the end of a long hard road I've been looking For an answer from someone for so long, knowin' it ain't gonna show When I came to the city I was looking for a clue But the scent's gone cold and the streets are overflowin' With women that look like you [Chorus] So goodbye, New York I'm leavin' on a midnight train Took a bite of your apple and before I knew what happened I was caught up in your game But I'm breaking free No more can you hold me down I'm rolling down that line, leavin' my old life behind On a freight a-headed southbound [Verse 2] When the summer came And I first saw your face, I thought I had it figured out And then came November and brought the rain And now my mind is filled with doubt But I'm leavin' for the last time I know I said no more Maybe I'll come back when the streets are packed And my heartache ain't so sore [Chorus] So goodbye, New York I'm leavin' on a midnight train Took a bite of your apple and before I knew what happened I was caught up in your game But I'm breaking free No more can you hold me down I'm rolling down that line, leavin' my old life behind On a freight a-headed southbound [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Goodbye, New York I'm leavin' on a midnight train ( Leaving ) Took a bite of your apple and before I knew what happened I was caught up in your game ( Caught up in your game ) But I'm breaking free No more can you hold me down I'm rolling down that line, leavin' my old life behind On a freight a-headed southbound [Outro] I'm rolling down that line, leavin' my old life behind On a freight a-headed southbound
