Leaving the City - The Luckies

Nigths are getting longer

It’s getting colder day by day

The sun without the sky

Like a canvas, showing different

Shades of grey

Monotony of city life

Has slowly taken its toll on me

I need to get away

I’m leaving the city

This time tomorrow I’ll be on my way

A day a week a month or more

I don’t know, just how long I’ll stay

I’m going to a place where time seems

To slowly stop and stare

Minutes fade into hours, you wake up without a care

You sit on the porch, tuning your steel guitar

And when the night’s draws on, you finish off

Yesterday’s cigar

I’m leaving the city

This time tomorrow I’ll be on my way
