The Other Favorites - New York Town

      [Intro]
F C


[Verse 1: Carson McKee]
C                  F
I wasn't ready for New York Town
                     G
Wrinkled suit in the underground
Am                    C          F
Doe-eyed boy with his head hung down
C
I wasn't ready for New York Town


[Verse 2: Carson McKee]
C                     F
I wasn't built for no assembly line
                      G
Stare at a screen and clock my time
Am                                         F
It's a temple full of money, no God in sight
         C
I wasn't built for no assembly line


[Chorus 1: Carson McKee & Josh Turner]
      F                                                   C
Well, workin' and a-pickin' and a-singin' ain't gotten me far yet
                  G                           C
I ain't left this bar yet and it's quarter to two
   F                                            C
And I'm wondering if I ever should've even left Charlotte
                 D                   G
Don't matter how far I get or what I do


[Verse 3: Carson McKee]
C
And I don't believe in no dating scene
                      G
See which girls will swipe on me
Am                             F
And lie about what I like on TV
             C
I don't believe in no dating scene


[Verse 4: Carson McKee]
                       F
I wasn't raised on no fair-weather friends
                      G
Who disappear till we dance again
Am                                 F
Then whiskey till we got the bends
           C                              G
I don't believe in no fair-weather friends


[Chorus 2: Carson McKee & Josh Turner]
F                                                         C
Well, workin' and a-pickin' and a-singin' ain't gotten me far yet
                   G                          C
I ain't left this bar yet and it's quarter to three
    F                                       C
I'm wondering if I ever should've even left Charlotte
                D                            G  C  G
I sure ain't no star yet; hell, maybe it's me


[Verse 5: Carson McKee]
(Under Tempo)
C
I wasn't ready for New York Town
                              G
So hand me down my homemade crown
                            Am                           F
We'll drink a round to this part-time king and full-time clown
 C (back at tempo)
I'll have the last laugh in New York Town


[Chorus 3: Carson McKee & Josh Turner]
  F                                                       C
Well, workin' and a-pickin' and a-singin' ain't gotten me far yet
                  G                            C
I ain't left this bar yet and it's quarter to four
         F                             C
But it's no time now to run on back to Charlotte
                D                               G  F  G      C
I won't sell my guitar yet 'cause maybe there's more
