Lyrics

[Verse] Subway's rumblin' like an old smokestack Brownstones leanin' in the city night East Village eyes stare at echo tracks City sighs beneath that pale moonlight [Verse 2] Neon ghosts where the vine once grew Bodegas whisper "Hushed dreams Old and new." Barroom hymns with a twang so blue Steel and asphalt where magnolias blew [Chorus] New York is the new South Can't you see? Mason-Dixon line drawn by the sea Cotton dreams and brick-laden past Yankee soil holdin' Dixie fast [Verse 3] Grey-haired tenor in an uptown dive Fingers dance on strings of old pine Broadway lights where the magnolia thrives Southern soul in a skyscrapin' shrine [Bridge] Empire hands meet calloused palms Concrete fields where ol' specters roam Statue’s torch with a southern charm Skyline sways with the willow's tome [Verse 4] Church bells echo down the subway hall Revival on the Hudson's rolling tides Urban sprawl hides the cotton's call Stories told where the city pride resides

New York Is the New South
