For The City

by Sean Magwire (Sean Magwire)

Where I come from these are the things I know

Never let your woman go and never break her heart

 

Oh but where I come from is only miles of broken roads

Only love that will never grow, It ends before it starts

 

Where I come from you die for the things you own

You never let your weakness show, You never pray to God

 

Oh but where I come from, heaven is the fool man’s gold

Leads you anywhere but home, Leads you to nowhere

 

But I will run, I will run, I will run, Run away

 

Deep in the valley of concrete and alleys, the stars never shine through the haze

I must get rid of my face, get rid of my faith, and change my philosophies

Like holes in the pavement I fall through the pages, A note that got lost in the rain

Take me the furthest away that I can be safe from the place that is haunting me

 

But I will run, I will run, I will run, Run away

 

Where I come from these are the things I know

Never let your woman go and never break her heart
