I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmm
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie-la-lie
Li?-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
Li?-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie
Asking only workman's wages
I go looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
When I lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la lie-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone, going home
Where the New York City winters are not bleeding me
Leading me
Going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
Though the fighter still remains, still remains
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
