Lyrics

The City

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.

I was walking by my old house when you turned around

Smoking a club cigarette that you put out on the ground

You were wearing Doc Martins and a black mini skirt

And I knew in that moment that you could better the hurt

I said let's get out of this broken town

Everyone is lost that I have found

So grab the keys, let's get away

Let's just drive to the city

To see the golden lights

Let's just drive to the city tonight

Never look back, never look back

Never look back again

Let's just drive to the city tonight

We got out of the car, walked into the club

You started dancing and living it up

Tonight is some kinda heaven, I'm in some kinda love

If I had rights, you'd have read 'em cause you own what I'm made of

I said let's get out of this broken town

Everyone is lost that I have found

So grab the keys, let's get away

Let's just drive to the city

To see the golden lights

Let's just drive to the city tonight

Never look back, never look back

Never look back again

Let's just drive to the city tonight

So take my hand

And marry me tonight

Take my hand

And marry me, marry me

Let's just drive to the city

To see the golden lights

Let's just drive to the city tonight

Never look back, never look back

Never look back again

Let's just drive to the city tonight

Let's just drive to the city

To see the golden lights

Let's just drive to the city tonight
