Ride with Me - The Mavericks

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 ass 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
