When I said goodbye |
| [00:38.97] |
She has a tear in her eye |
| [00:40.28] |
I'm like momma don't cry |
| [00:41.57] |
Your little boy got to fly |
| [00:42.70] |
They say up in N.Y. |
| [00:44.9] |
I swear it's going down |
| [00:45.42] |
and I'm gonna have a million dollars |
| [00:46.90] |
when I get back in town |
| [00:48.20] |
She said "You're just going through a phase |
| [00:50.19] |
can't this be a hobby?" |
| [00:51.33] |
I said "My friends say I'm dope, |
| [00:52.52] |
even Charlie & Robbie" |
| [00:53.81] |
We said our goodbyes |
| [00:55.32] |
And I boarded the plane |
| [00:56.39] |
I was looking out the window |
| [00:57.57] |
at the wings as it rained |
| [00:59.25] |
We taxied to the runway |
| [01:00.27] |
I could hear the engine howling |
| [01:01.54] |
Thew a prayer up in the air |
| [01:02.91] |
And felt the world escape the ground |
| [01:04.41] |
The buildings, the cars |
| [01:05.59] |
And the towns were small as ants |
| [01:06.93] |
I was destined for the unknown |
| [01:08.41] |
Just lookin for a chance |
| [01:09.71] |
All I ever wanted |
| [01:12.18] |

We all wanna be number 1 |
| [01:36.12] |
We landed at LaGuardia |
| [01:37.22] |
I grabbed my bags and stepped |
| [01:38.73] |
Into the cold, the snow was falling |
| [01:39.95] |
I lit a cigarette |
| [01:42.8] |
There was a million yellow taxis |
| [01:42.68] |
Everybody seemed upset |
| [01:43.86] |
A rugged voice from behind me |
| [01:45.33] |
Asked me "Where you tryin to get?" |
| [01:46.55] |
I said "The closest motel, |
| [01:47.94] |
but no tellin tomorrow" |
| [01:49.1] |
He said "You must be from Atlanta" |
| [01:50.44] |
I said "Georgia, how did you know?" |
| [01:51.89] |
"I could tell from your accent |
| [01:53.9] |
That you were from the south" |
| [01:54.47] |
Threw my luggage in the trunk |
| [01:55.74] |
He said "Get it" and we pulled out |
| [01:57.0] |
Into the sirens and the honking horns |
| [01:58.63] |
The hustle and the bustle |
| [01:59.76] |
And the traffic that's when he said |
| [02:01.22] |
"Welcome to the Jungle" |
| [02:02.52] |
I looked up at all the buildings |
| [02:03.76] |
Until we got to the mot- |
| [02:05.5] |
Before we left he said "I hope you find |
| [02:06.53] |
what you're lookin for" |
| [02:08.72] |
All I ever wanted |
| [02:10.36] |
Was to be excited |
| [02:13.10] |
About right now |

Then a 19 yr old kid |
| [02:35.46] |
In a motel room in New York |
| [02:37.0] |
Dug his cellie out his pocket |
| [02:38.44] |
Called his parents to report |
| [02:39.81] |
He was alive and doin well and doin fine |
| [02:41.33] |
When he got off the phone |
| [02:42.85] |
He sat down on the corner of the bed |
| [02:44.38] |
All alone |
| [02:45.38] |
With the TV on the volume mute |
| [02:46.63] |
He grabbed his pen and pad |
| [02:47.86] |
And jotted down ideas about some things |
| [02:49.30] |
That he wanted so bad |
| [02:50.40] |
That he would risk it all to get 'em |
| [02:51.62] |
And it wasn't very long |
| [02:52.89] |
He was asleep and right beside him |
| [02:54.30] |
laid the lyrics to a song called |
| [02:55.51] |
All I ever wanted |
| [02:58.28] |
Was to be excited |
