Goodbye City Lyrics by James Steinle

South Texas Homecoming

0

Well it's hammer down and goodbye city
Never should have stayed so long
The rivers were green
And the support beams
Were barely hanging on
And there's so many miles
And I've seen plenty
Plenty to know
It ain't where I belong
So I'm letting go, it's a gosh darn pity
You ain't coming along
Yeah, hammer down and goodbye city
Never should have stayed so long
Hammer down and goodbye lonely
Never should have stayed so long
It was 4 AM
Wide awake again
Wondering where it all went wrong
Yeah, you loved me
But I was unsure
About the way I felt
If love was the cure
But you said now
So I said later
And we dropped that love like a hot potater
Now it's supper time
I'm going strong
Cutting cross the field with my shredder on
Hammer down and goodbye lonely
Never should have stayed so long
Steady flow, steady fall
Finally hit the bottom
You will lose it all
Yet with patient eyes
We patient crawl
Toward the light at the end of hall (uh-huh)
Toward the light at the end of the hall
Hammer down and goodbye city
I never should have stayed so long
That neon steam from the gutter screens
Had me plucking on the same old song
There's so many miles
And I've seen plenty
Plenty to know
This ain't where I belong
So I'm letting go, it's a gosh darn pity
You ain't coming along
It's hammer down and goodbye city
I never should have stayed so long
