City With a Passion Lyrics by The Vegabonds

Southern Sons

2012

(Verse 1)
Lights are steady flashing, and the night is burning bright
A city with a passion, still away I see her light
Oh she’ll burn you with her passion
(Chorus)
Don’t you wanna see, don’t you wanna know?
Wouldn’t you ever like see where you gotta go…I don’t know
Don’t you wanna see, don’t you wanna know?
Wouldn’t you ever like see where you gotta go…I don’t know
(Verse 2)
The thieves they run right through you
Like lions in the streets
Last laughs are owned by those, whom your eyes may never meet
So turn around and walk away….just turn around and walk away
(Chorus)
Don’t you wanna see, don’t you wanna know?
Wouldn’t you ever like see where you gotta go…I don’t know
Don’t you wanna see, don’t you wanna know
Wouldn’t you ever like see where you gotta go…I don’t know
Don’t you wanna see, don’t you wanna know?
Don’t you wanna see where you gotta go…I don’t know
Don’t you wanna see, don’t you wanna know?
Don’t you wanna see where you gotta go…I don’t know
Well now I know. Yes now I know
Yes I see you and now I know
Now I know…I’m coming back to you
(Ending)
Come on people join together, stories of your golden days
Let your joy light up the city, home ain't all that far away
Come on brothers join together, stories of your golden days
Let your joy light up the city, home ain't all that far away
Come on sisters join together, stories of your golden days
Let your joy light up the city, home ain't all that far away
Home’s not too far away
(3x)
