lyrics

City lights, pretty, bright and fair

Twinkling in my eyes, I couldn't help but glare

I'll be just fine by my lonesome self

You and I, we used to have it all

Until you set your sights on the bustle down below

Take your time, I'm sure you'll not be long

City Lights, they blind me from the stars

Which help to keep in mind how small we really are

Just a speck floating in a ray of light

Down in town the world's in such a rush

Running round and round in search of such and such

But the view's just fine from way out here

If I was a rich man's son

I'd give up all the money and run

Through the Birch and through the Pine

No I wouldn't keep even a dime

I'd make my own way and I'd live off the land

Away from the city, I'd work with my hands

Come with me through the woods

Way past city lights the world looks like it should

Towers tall, standing high

But that Mockingbird singing in the sky

Hope her song doesn't die

No I don't, hope her song doesn't die
