Lyrics
My Hometown NYC
Lyrics-Francine Mancini ASCAP c2012
She was barely 18
when she left her small town
Hopped a bus to NYC
That city would never let her down
Packed with a suitcase
full of hopes and dreams
Waved goodbye to Mom and Dad
She knew she'd never turn back
Her future was as bright
as the stars she'd sing to at night
CHORUS
NYC has been both friend and enemy
Teaching her lessons
she never wanted to learn
Well sometimes she got burned
New York has set her free
Made her the woman she was meant to be
She says I love my hometown NYC
I love my hometown NYC
She settled in downtown
right near the WTC
it was not yet complete
but it stood tall in all its majesty
now mom and dad are gone
lost a few of her best friends too
Kim, Raul, Mac, Judy and Jenna
just to name a few
her hopes have faded away
and her dreams never did come true
CHORUS
Guitar solo
Bridge
There's a snow globe smashed and broken
In pieces on the floor
Her dreams are drops of water
A skyline there no more
CHORUS
