Lyrics: Mark Ambor
Music: Mark Ambor/Noel Zancanella
Call you out
Call your bluff
Oh, enough is enough
You can’t fake it under all these lights
Gettin’ lost in the streets
That they say never sleep
So maybe we’ll stay out tonight
I said
Ooh
Let me go
Ooh
Take me home
Some run from themselves
Go out west to the plains
Or go north, find a little old cabin in Maine
Gettin’ lost, gettin’ bored, gettin’ hard to explain what you’re doing
Some people love drinkin’ sweet tea in the South
Some love skiing tall mountains that I can’t pronounce
You know I’m from a place
Where we get kinda loud to prove it
Leave you with an impression that’s hard to forget
I can’t change how they raised me, so
New York Confident
Though it might leave a stain
You’ll remember my name
When you’re lookin’ for an honest guy
No one tells you the truth
Like I thought they used to
Authenticity’s hard to find
I said
Ooh
Let me go
Ooh
Take me home
Some run from themselves
Go out west to the plains
Or go north, find a little old cabin in Maine
Gettin’ lost, gettin’ bored, gettin’ hard to explain what you’re doing
Some people love drinkin’ sweet tea in the South
Some love skiing tall mountains that I can’t pronounce
You know I’m from a place
Where we get kinda loud to prove it
Leave you with an impression that’s hard to forget
I can’t change how they raised me, so
New York Confident
If you’re gonna say somethin’, say it with your chest
I can’t change how they raised me, so
New York Confident
Oh, you can’t tell me somethin’s better than the best
Oh, they’ve tried, they can’t save me, so
New York Confident
