- City Song LyricsGo ahead and walk away from me
I can see what's going down
Dear boy, before you go
You had better hear me out
I've seen her face, I know her name
Comin' on to deal her drug
Like a summer field in flame
She's gonna light you up
But you think you're in love
I would give you every tear
But your destiny holds true
If I cried a lifetime still
This river would not save you
No, it would not save you
Something in you rages on
You know I don't believe the lies
Son, you're bound to prove me wrong
But I see doubt there in your eyes
I would give you every tear
But your destiny holds true
If I cried a lifetime
Still this river would not save you
No, it would not save you
I've been in the city for forty days
I recognize the devil behind that pretty face of hers
There's no mistaking this road you're taking
Will only break you down
There's nothing more that I can say
You're gonna go and prove me wrong anyway
Remember it's you that walked away
I will not compromise
Virgin Mother, light the way
All my weary breath is flown
I ran out of time to weep
A thousand, thousand sighs ago
Go ahead and walk away from here
I can see what's going down
Dear boy, before you go
You had better hear me out
I've seen her face, I know her name
Comin' on to deal her drug
Like a summer field in flame
She's gonna light you up
But you think you're in love
I would give you every tear
But your destiny holds true
If I cried a lifetime still
This river would not save you
No, it would not save you
Something in you rages on
You know I don't believe the lies
Son, you're bound to prove me wrong
But I see doubt there in your eyes
I would give you every tear
But your destiny holds true
Still this river would not save you
No, it would not save you
I've been in the city for forty days
I recognize the devil behind that pretty face of hers
There's no mistaking this road you're taking
Will only break you down
There's nothing more that I can say
You're gonna go and prove me wrong anyway
Remember it's you that walked away
I will not compromise
Virgin Mother, light the way
All my weary breath is flown
I ran out of time to weep
A thousand, thousand sighs ago
Go ahead and walk away from here
