Overheard at Table 3: Everyone Writes Songs about New York City

Everyone writes songs about New York City
Saying New York is just the place to be.
And if they're not writing songs about Manhattan
Then they're talking about LA falling into the sea.

Everyone writes song about LA
The city of lost angels and the freedom to be
Whatever you dream of being you can be
Everyone writes songs about NYC

Chorus
But no one writes songs about Houston
Except as a passing mention in a tragedy
I've heard more songs about Tulsa
Than I've ever heard about H-Town's history

Everyone wants to make it in New York City
Everyone says they love LA
Everyone wants to hang out with Nashville Cats
Everyone wants to see the San Francisco Bay

Chorus
But no one writes songs about Houston
Except as a passing mention in a tragedy
I've heard more songs about living on Tulsa time
Than I've ever heard about H-town being for lovers like you and me.

'Cuz Houston is for lovers like you and me
Except perhaps in August - when it's too miserable to believe.
