City Lights

I was born in the country

The babe of a quiet wife

Farmer fields all about me

A blanket of stars at night

But over the hill beside me

Was the glow of another life

Where buildings towered in ivory

No one ever seemed to sleep a lot

I’ll make way to find them

The city lights

I do love the feelin’

Of dirt beneath my finger nails

But I’ve never been so satisfied

As journeying to town on rails

For over the hill beside me

Was the glow of another life

Where buildings rised above me

Like a moth to the burning bright

Oh I want to see them

Want to see them again
