The entire Empire State, it couldn't hold me back,
Cause I was driving away from the faces that I couldn't even place.

And that's alright and that's okay by me.
And that's alright and that's okay by me.
I've got a couple books on tape and a fresh pack of cigarettes.

And if I think too much the words seem to disappear,
So I'll take you up on the ferris wheel and simply grab your hand.

And that's alright and that's okay by me.
And that's alright and that's okay by me.
I've got a couple books on tape and a fresh pack of cigarettes
That I've lit over twenty times and I guess I'll have to do it again.
