I've been travelling through this life alone
I grew up rough, but I grew up strong
Most folks I see confuse my bones
Let stone hearts turn into gold
One day I'll hop the trains down south
For warmth and love, that left me out
Might take a chance overseas
To far away lands, where lovers meet
If you tell me that you love me
In the morning I will run dear
You will never get this close, because I'm scared
The city lights are burning
My heart is yearning
To get up and leave and be alone again
I've sat on hells highway ride
Past light of day, where thoughts collide
I don't long to see that place no more
I don't long to see that place no more
I'd like to stay for morning coffee
Shake everything behind me off me
Have our land and raise our kin
Tell stories about the life we've seen
If you tell me that you love me
In the morning I will run dear
You will never get this close, because I'm scared
The city lights are burning
My heart is yearning
To get up and leave and be alone again
To get up and leave and be alone again
If you tell me that you love me
I will run dear
You will never get that close, because I'm scared
The city lights are burning
My heart is yearning
To get up and leave and be alone again
To get up and leave
And be alone again
To get up and leave
And be alone again
