Lyrics:

I wasn't ready for New York Town
A wrinkled suit in the underground
A doe-eyed boy with his head hung down
I wasn't ready for New York Town

I wasn't built for no assembly line
To stare at a screen and clock my time
It's a temple full of money, no god in sight
I wasn't built for no assembly line.

Well workin' and pickin' and singin' ain't gotten me far yet
I ain't left this bar yet, and it's a quarter to two
And I'm wondering if I ever should have even left Charlotte
it don't matter how far I get or what I do

I I don't believe in no dating scene
To see which girls will swipe on me
And lie about what I like on TV
No I don't believe in no dating scene

And I wasn't raised on no fair-weather friends
Who disappear 'till we dance again
And whiskey 'till we've got the bends
I don't believe in no fair-weather friends
Well workin' and pickin' and singin' ain't gotten me far yet
I ain't left this bar yet, and it's a quarter to three
I'm wondering if I ever should have even left Charlotte
I sure ain't no star yet; hell, maybe it's me.

I wasn't ready for New York Town
So hand me down my homemade crown, we'll drink a round
To this part-time king and full-time clown
I'll have the last laugh in New York Town.
Well workin' and pickin' and singin' ain't gotten me far yet
I ain't left this bar yet, and it's a quarter to four
Well it's no time now to run on back to Charlotte
I wont't sell my guitar yet -
Maybe there's more?
