    I lay in bed that fateful night in September '73 when the radio stopped the music to announce the news. To this day, I still have eight of his albums. I will pass them down to my grandchildren and tell them of Jim, Maury, and Ingrid and the sensational songs created. May Jim RIP. I'm 76 now and still listen to the music that was part of my young adult life. May that music live from generation to generation. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎼🎶

      You're so right sir and you have some of the best collectibles that there ever was my one of the best performers, singer-songwriters in the world as far as I'm concerned. I hope you also have time in a bottle. Which was the theme song at our 1975 junior senior prom. It was in memory to Jim Croce and it's wonderful talents and that special song it meant a lot to our high school students. And me personally. I am now 65 years old. And I've always been a music lover of course listening to the lyrics most of all. And my memory Jim Croce music will live on forever.

    I was in my sophomore year of high school when Jim died. I began dating a girl who was in my class that same year. We spent the next 2 years of high school driving around and singing to the tunes of Jim. The joy we had driving down the road singing along with him on the couple of 8 track tapes of his, that I had, while holding hands as she sat right next to me in the front seat of my ‘66 Ford fairlane were no small reason for us eventually growing up and getting married. In January 2024, we celebrate 45 years of marriage. There is no doubt in my mind that the music that Jim created during his all too brief time on earth has been a catalyst to the love that me and my wife continue to share. Even now, I find myself revisiting his songs on RUclips just to listen and reflect on what an impact those sweet, sweet days have meant to me. Thanks, Jim.

    Been in so many places, you know I've run so many races
    I looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
    Somethin' is just not right
    'Cause I know that I've gotta get outta here
    I'm so alone
    Don't you know that I gotta get outta here
    'Cause New York's not my home
    Though all the streets are crowded
    There's somethin' strange about it
    I lived there 'bout a year and I never once felt at home
    I thought I'd make the big time
    I learned a lot of lessons awfully quick
    And now I'm tellin' you that they were not the nice kind
    It has been so long since I have felt fine
    That's the reason that I've gotta get outta here

    I have struggled with addiction on and off for almost 20 years. The first time I heard this song I could immediately relate. My figurative New York is my ongoing battle with substance abuse. Jim had such a unique ability to capture emotions in a clear, honest, and concise way that made his music so easy to relate to. Whatever your “New York” is, just remember it’s not your home. We all struggle with something but if you’re reading this, I hope you know that your issues are not your identity. Never give up, humble yourself, ask for help, ask God to reveal himself to you and forgive you. Things can, and will get better. God bless and rest in peace Jim. Your music has helped me through some tough times.

    Love this song. Totally understand it. Spent time in Maine. It’s not like you’d think either. Empty faces in NYC true. Been there too. Seems like they’re all so lonely. Looking for somewhere to land. 😞

    I listened to Jim’s music on headphones on my parents’ hifi all my childhood in the 1970s. Every time I hear them it is an emotional experience. I knew then that he had died a few years earlier. I will never stop grieving for him and Maury.

    I love singing this song to all of those arrogant New Yorkers whenever I meet them . . . when they started to sing Frank and Jay-Z's song --- I tell them that I have a better one and I belt out the following:
    🎼 I gotta get outa here, cause NY not my home 🎵🎶 . . . "

    Perhaps one of the best live performances I've seen on RUclips. Maury fantastic as always... Jim in IMHO one of his best instrumental and vocal performances.

    I remember them playing one of his songs on Magnum PI. In 1987. I remember going to a record store and then looking for his record and particularly the song don't mess around with Jim.

    Lyrics
    Well, things were spinning round me
    And all my thoughts were cloudy
    And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me
    Been in so many places
    You know I've run so many races
    And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
    And something is just not right
    'Cause I know that I gotta get out of here
    I'm so alone
    Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
    'Cause, New York's not my home
    Though all the streets are crowded
    There's something strange about it
    I lived there about a year and I never once felt at home
    I thought I'd make the big time
    I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
    And now I'm telling you
    That they were not the nice kind
    And it's been so long since I have felt fine
    That's the reason that I gotta get out of here
    I'm so alone
    Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
    'Cause New York's not my home
    That's the reason that I gotta get out of here
    I'm so alone
    Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
    'Cause New York's not my home

    I have more of a connection to this song than any of Jim's songs. Why I don't know.
    It feels like a Spiritual song. That is how I feel when I listen to this song.
