lyrics

I’m going to the city
Going to stay
Going to the city for the rest of my days
Gonna make some money
Gonna make new friends
Gonna learn to love, love again

CHORUS

It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home

Going to the city
Gonna ride the train
Everything old is new again
Gonna sell my car
Never going home
In a city of millions
I’ll never be alone

CHORUS

Nothing good happens these days
Gotta learn to live, live again
Going to the city
Gonna die alone
In a Potter’s field they’ll rest my bones

CHORUS
