42nd Street, man this crazy car
Since I landed, just me and my guitar
I came here thinking I was going to win
What did I know
Now I'm on the outside looking in
I thought the city
Could always take me there
No open door, and no one seems to care
Oh silly me, thinking there'd be some give and take
If I only knew
Gotta stand in line can't catch a break
Just trying to find a way back home
Where I'm never alone
The first flight out wouldn't be too soon
To see that western moon
Can't run, I'll just hideway
New York Breakdown (Can't run Hideaway)
A New York Breakdown (Can't run ya gonna hide)
New York Breakdown (Can't run Hideaway)
Well it's a pity
I wasted all my time
Gonna hurry go
I'm down to my last dime
Gotta find a way to make a brand new start
From this here town
Been through worse can't take me down
New York Breakdown (Can't run Hideaway)
A New York Breakdown (Can't run ya gonna hide)
New York Breakdown (Can't run Hideaway)
Can't run Hideaway (Well shake it, Mama)
Can't run ya gonna hide (Well shake it again)
Can't run Hideaway (Shake it, Baby)
