Marchin' to the City

歌詞

Well i'm sittin' in church in an old wooden chair I knew nobody would look for me there Sorrow and pity rule the earth and the skies Looking for nothin' in anyone's eyes Once I had a pretty gal, did me wrong Now I'm marching to the city and the road ain't long Snow flakes are fallin' around my head Lord have mercy, it feel heavy like lead I been hit too hard, seen too much Nothing can heal me now but your touch Once I had a pretty gal, she did me wrong Now I'm marching to the city and the road ain't long Loneliness got a mind of its own The more people around, the more you feel alone I'm chained to the earth like a silent slave Trying to break free out of death's dark cave Once I had a pretty gal, done me wrong Now I'm marching to the city and the road ain't long Boys in the street beginnin' to play Girls like birds flyin' away I'm carryin' the roses that were given to me And I'm thinkin' about paradise wonderin' where it might be Once I had a pretty gal, she done me wrong Now I'm marching to the city and the road ain't long Go over to London, maybe gay Paris Follow the river you get to the sea I was hopin' we could drink from life's clear streams I was hopin' we could dream life's pleasant dreams Once I had a pretty gal, but she done me wrong Now I'm marching to the city and the road ain't long Well the weak get weaker and the strong stay strong The train keeps rollin' all night long She looked at me with an irresistable glance With a smile that could make all the planets dance Once I had a pretty gal, she did me wrong Now I'm marching to the city and the road ain't long My house is on fire, burnin' to the skies I thought the rain clouds, but the clouds passed by When I'm gone you'll remember my name I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame Once I had a pretty gal, but she did me wrong Now I'm marching to the city and the road ain't long
