Detroit Or Buffalo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
People expected to fall and hit that same old wall
Really they don't wanna help at all
They talk behind your back today
They shake their heads and they say
Well, I always knew that the boy would come to no good anyway
So better pack up and go to Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where, you don't know
You don't know
God knows, everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train 'til the end of the line
Missing every mile that friend of mine
I haven't been to Wilmer's Ville
A lot of time on the shell
Saying that I don't need help when I do
But I'm gonna be just fine
A lot of friends a little while
But really I wish I could see you again sometime
So guess I pack up and go to Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where, you don't know
You don't know
God knows, everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train 'til the end of the line
Missing every mile that friend of mine
It's hard to open up the door
Like you were gone so many times before
And really I think you can't do it anymore
So take a chance and take a train
Out into the pouring rain
And all you got is your suitcase full of pain
So I better pack up and go to Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where, I don't know
No, I don't know
God knows, everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train 'til the end of the line
Missing every mile that friend of mine
Missing every mile that friend of mine
