Goodbye Crazy City

Goodbye, crazy city

You're too much for me.

Give me what you owe me.

I'll take it, then i'll leave.

I never slept so fitful

As bleeding on your sheets.

Well, light's outside advertising

Somebody else's dreams.

Goodbye, crazy city

Goodbye, ugly pride.

Shadowy companion

Who had swaggered by my side.

We fell down together.

I tried, but i could not stand.

Watched him spring up to his feet

To hold up another man's hand.

Goodbye, crazy city

I thank you for your time

And all the girls and drugs i did

When i was in my prime.

Man, i sure was something

The way i laid on low.

And i still got the will,

But the legs ain't there no more.

Goodbye, crazy city

We sure had a run.

I really thought i'd made it

In the days when i was dumb.

I thought you were my cradle;

You held me in your hands,

Squeezed out every penny,

Then you cut me loose and ran.

Goodbye, crazy city.

Goodbye, goodbye, crazy city.

Goodbye, crazy city

I'd cry if i knew how.

But you beat the tears right out of me

When i first came to town.

I'm staring out my window

Watching you get small.

Sitting through a turbulence

Half-hoping that we fall.

Goodbye, crazy city

Spooled out in the dirt

Like golden thread unraveling

From a cheaply _ shirt.

Go find some other loser

To dangle from your ropes.

I watched you and your promises

Fan away the smoke.

Goodbye, crazy city

Goodbye, goodbye, crazy city.
