All I ever wanted
|
Was to be excited
|
About right now
|
We all wanna be number 1
|
All I ever wanted
|
Was to be excited
|
About right now
|
We all wanna be number 1
|
We all wanna be number 1
|
|
When I said goodbye
|
She has a tear in her eye
|
I'm like momma don't cry
|
Your little boy got to fly
|
They say up in N.Y.
|
I swear it's going down
|
and I'm gonna have a million dollars
|
when I get back in town
|
|
She said "You're just going through a phase
|
can't this be a hobby?"
|
I said "My friends say I'm dope,
|
even Charlie & Robbie"
|
We said our goodbyes
|
And I boarded the plane
|
I was looking out the window
|
at the wings as it rained
|
|
We taxied to the runway
|
I could hear the engine howling
|
Thew a prayer up in the air
|
And felt the world escape the ground
|
The buildings, the cars
|
And the towns were small as ants
|
I was destined for the unknown
|
Just lookin for a chance
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
We landed at LaGuardia
|
I grabbed my bags and stepped
|
Into the cold, the snow was falling
|
I lit a cigarette
|
There was a million yellow taxis
|
Everybody seemed upset
|
A rugged voice from behind me
|
Asked me "Where you tryin to get?"
|
I said "The closest motel,
|
but no tellin tomorrow"
|
He said "You must be from Atlanta"
|
I said "Georgia, how did you know?"
|
"I could tell from your accent
|
That you were from the south"
|
Threw my luggage in the trunk
|
He said "Get it" and we pulled out
|
|
Into the sirens and the honking horns
|
The hustle and the bustle
|
And the traffic that's when he said
|
"Welcome to the Jungle"
|
I looked up at all the buildings
|
Until we got to the mot-
|
Before we left he said "I hope you find
|
what you're lookin for"
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Then a 19 yr old kid
|
In a motel room in New York
|
Dug his cellie out his pocket
|
Called his parents to report
|
He was alive and doin well and doin fine
|
When he got off the phone
|
He sat down on the corner of the bed
|
All alone
|
|
With the TV on the volume mute
|
He grabbed his pen and pad
|
And jotted down ideas about some things
|
That he wanted so bad
|
That he would risk it all to get 'em
|
And it wasn't very long
|
He was asleep and right beside him
|
laid the lyrics to a song called
|
|
(Chorus)x 2
|
