- New York Is Killing Me LyricsYeah the doctors don't know, but New York was killing me,
Bunch of doctors coming round, they don't know
That New York is killing me
Yeah I need to go home and take it slow in Jackson, Tennessee
Let me tell ya fast city ain't living all
It's cracked up to be
Fast city living it all

The doctor: "Try to take it all in"

To try to take it all in
(Take it all in)

And I didn't have a single friend
Don't you know, don't you know

Seems like I need to start over
And move back home in Jackson, Tennessee

Tell him to bury my body back home in Jackson, Tennessee
