Lyrics
0:06Well she started out working for an Illinois assembly line
0:11Not really what she wanted
0:13Just dealing with the feeling when
0:15You're feeling like you wish it was fine
0:17You just don't talk about it
0:20And along came an offer from the city of steel
0:26They were stranded at the airport
0:28She could barely believe he was real
0:31So she said
0:33Make it happen take me to Manhattan
0:36If you like LA that's cool
0:39Or you could slip me right on down the Mississippi
0:42I'd go anywhere with you
0:48Well they met up on the river in the middle of the summertime
0:53He was from out on the coast
0:55And ever since he said
0:56He'd never stop until they got it right
0:59It's what they wanted the most
1:02He had been everywhere and she'd been alone
1:08They were just looking for a place to call home
1:13So he said
1:15How about Manhattan we can make it happen
1:18I'll do California too
1:21I know it's iffy but how about the Mississippi
1:24I'd go anywhere with you
1:29Any old town will do
1:33I could die in the flyover zone with you
1:43Then they started their first argument
1:45And the fighting never stopped
1:48It's just the same old story
1:50All the boys and girls
1:51Who never figure one another out
1:54Then all the tears started pouring
1:57She never wanted
2:00To see him again
2:03Then the map came off the wall
2:04She started marking it with a red pen
2:08Then she said
2:10Well take Manhattan where anything can happen
2:13You take California too
2:16Forever after with or without laughter
2:19We got better things to do
2:23Take Manhattan where anything can happen
2:25You take California too
2:29Take the planet you can f**king have it
2:32Look out cause she's coming for you
Well she started out working for an Illinois assembly line Not really what she wanted Just dealing with the feeling when You're feeling like you wish it was fine You just don't talk about it And along came an offer from the city of steel They were stranded at the airport She could barely believe he was real So she said Make it happen take me to Manhattan If you like LA that's cool Or you could slip me right on down the Mississippi I'd go anywhere with you Well they met up on the river in the middle of the summertime He was from out on the coast And ever since he said He'd never stop until they got it right It's what they wanted the most He had been everywhere and she'd been alone They were just looking for a place to call home So he said How about Manhattan we can make it happen I'll do California too I know it's iffy but how about the Mississippi I'd go anywhere with you Any old town will do I could die in the flyover zone with you Then they started their first argument And the fighting never stopped It's just the same old story All the boys and girls Who never figure one another out Then all the tears started pouring She never wanted To see him again Then the map came off the wall She started marking it with a red pen Then she said Well take Manhattan where anything can happen You take California too Forever after with or without laughter We got better things to do Take Manhattan where anything can happen You take California too Take the planet you can f**king have it Look out cause she's coming for you
