Well I'm sitting 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 nothing in
|
Anyone's eyes
|
|
Once I had pretty girls
|
Did me wrong
|
Now I'm marching to the city
|
And the road ain't long
|
|
Snowflakes are falling
|
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 girl
|
She done 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 girl
|
Done me wrong
|
Now I'm marching to the city
|
And the road ain't long
|
|
Boys in the street
|
Beginning to play
|
Girls like birds
|
Flying away
|
I'm carrying the roses
|
That were given to me
|
And I'm thinking about paradise
|
Wondering what it might be
|
|
Once I had a pretty girl
|
She done me wrong
|
Now I'm marching to the city
|
And the road ain't long
|
|
Go over to London
|
Maybe gay Paree
|
Follow the river
|
You get to the sea
|
I was hoping we could drink from
|
Life's clear streams
|
I was hoping we could dream
|
Life's pleasant dreams
|
|
Once I had a pretty girl
|
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 rolling
|
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 girl
|
She did me wrong
|
Now I'm marching to the city
|
And the road ain't long
|
|
My house is on fire
|
Burning 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 girl
|
But she did me wrong
|
Now I'm marching to the city
|
And the road ain't long
|
