Back to the City

[Verse 1]

I'm slipping in the slime

I'm running out of time

Abandoned in this hell

You said all would be well

But you lied!

Yeah, you lied

So, I'm going back

I'm going back

Yeah

[Chorus]

(I'm going back to the city)

Knockin' on the door

(Back to the city)

To where I was before

(Back to the city)

Where I am not alone

I'm going home

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Why would you leave me here?

As soon as troubles rise

Don't give a place to fear

He'll wipe every tear from your eyes

I've got my ball and Jack

And now I'm goin' back

If now it's dark and cold

What more awaits you down this road?

[Chorus]

(I'm going back to the city)

I can hardly wait

(Back to the city)

Passing through the gate

(I'm going back to the city)

The lights, the stars, the show

I'm coming home

(I'm going back to the city)

Knocking on the door

(Back to the city)

To where I was before

(I'm going back to the city)

Light up the Superdome

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

[Bridge]

The man sank deep in that miry ground

With the pack on his back still weighing him down

While his friend left them there

Without even saying goodbye

He reached to the side and found hope was there

As a hand helped him out of the pit of despair

He shook himself off and walked in the way of the sky…
