Well, my first love was in Boston
I still think about it often
Yeah, the brownstones still feel haunted
After all these years have passed
Then I found it out in LA
We would kiss all night to Coldplay
But I broke it off in Burbank
Now the East Side makes me sad

So I headed down to Nashville
Met a cowboy for a quick thrill
And I'm grateful for that night, still
Even though it didn't last
And then August came in New York
Oh, I loved and lost and learned more
Played guitar and found some new chords
And a boy who loves me back

Now I take these memories with me
From the West Coast across to the North East
All the heartbreaks I've had on the backstreets of Brooklyn
'Cause I'm a city woman
