the whiskey works the same in new york city
High dive like a stone and I’m sinking
Cab fare just to drive me to drinking
Concrete and the coffee you’re spilling
Cold feet and the time that you’re killing
CHORUS
Whiskey works the same in New York City
New York City keeps on filling it up for me
Ain’t got it you ain’t gonna get it
Ain’t hot it’ll burn if you let it
Keep writing your name in the gutter
One night it’s the same as another
Slow down, gonna get to it quicker
Downtown with a head full of liquor
Too late for a break in the weather
Someday, it’s still better than never
