All my friend packing up,
Loading up their Volvo's and their pick up trucks
Going down the road, to try their luck
So spin a dream, go heading for the city.
Roll that dice, say a prayer
Light a candle for me, when you get there
Win or lose, we're heading for the city.
Well I got a problem hear what I say
They're tellin me I got to move away
I was happy here, they tell me I can't stay
Now whats screaming rain is heading this way
For those who sleep and choose to stay
The game they didn't know, they had to play
So win or lose, we're heading for the city
So roll that dice, say a prayer
Light a candle for me, when you get there
Win or lose, we're heading for the city.
