South of the City Lights Songtext
von Parker McCollum

I′ve been learnin' how to do it all the hard way
Savin′ up, burnin' up my yesterdays
Tryin' so hard not to believe
Take a bite of the lies that you′ve been feeding me

Tell me somethin′ that I don't know
Leave me with those eyes
I′ll be right here waitin'
South of the city lights

Wish I would′ve listen' to my brother when he told me
Lovin′ her is only gonna leave you lonely
Don't believe in fate, and careful who you love
They don't care out there where you′re comin′ from


Tell me somethin' that I don′t know
Leave me with those eyes
I'll be right here waitin′
South of the city lights

It's been a long time comin′
Findin' out that I don't know it all
It′s always good when you get it
Don′t take too long 'til you wanna go

Now I′ll just sit and stare at white walls all the time
Wish you would somehow hear that I ain't doin′ fine
I'll never be the same, I′ll never love again
I'll never leave this mess that I've been livin′ in

Tell me somethin′ that I don't know
Leave me with those eyes
I′ll be right here waitin'
South of the city lights
South of the city lights
South of the city lights
