Stay with me through September Summer didn't last And there ain't nobody in New York City Could need you half as bad Stay with me through September The nights are gettin' cold Old Man Winter's gonna be here soon And the cattle still ain't sold Stay with me through September Yeah, I know there ain't much to do And I guess I did my share of starving in the city I was young once too I can picture how youre livin' In a tiny fourth floor flat There's times that a thousand acres and the Rocky Mountains Can't compete with that Ooo, ooo Stay with me through September I know the flight's already booked But I couldn't let you go and leave it like this Without giving it a second look Stay with me through September I know the pace is kinda slow And there ain't much glamour on the old back quarter Babe, I guess I gotta let you go I can picture how youre livin' In a Lower East Side flat Guess there's times that a thousand acres and the Rocky Mountains Can't compete with that Ooo, ooo
