The song Too Dumb for New York City is performed by Waylon Jennings in the album named Too Dumb for New York City, Too Ugly for L.A. in the year 2003 .

Verse 1:
D
When i first saw New York city

I was green down to the core

You could see my red neck glowing

For a mile or maybe more
A
Between the hustlers and the hookers

I must have made their day

Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
D
And sent me on my way

Bridge 1:

When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

It ain't no place to be

So i came to one conclusion
A
New York ain't for me

Chorus:
D
From sea to shining sea

And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land i love the most
A
I ain't California pretty

I can't survive the Great White Way

I'm too dumb for New York city
D
And too ugly for L.A.

Verse 2:

I made my way to Tinseltown

To Hollywood and Vine

Out among those pretty faces

I'd surely find a place for mine
A
The way i walk-the way i talk

They'll hang on every word

But don't call me,i'll call you
D
Was all i ever heard

Bridge 2:

In L.A. what they're thinking

Ain't what they talk about

At least in New York city
A
There's never any doubt

Chorus.

A
I'm too dumb for New York city
D
And too ugly for L.A.
