Why Live in the City?

from Clawhammer by Bannerman

/

lyrics

I've got a feeling like a sinking stone
I've been in thus blue house too long
I'm a burnout
Woke up smelling of gasoline
They say the motorway sounds just like waves in the sea
But I'm not so sure

Why live in the city when I can lose myself in the stars?
Why live in the city if it's only going to shit on my heart?
I ain't going to sit around and watch things falling apart

Wild living's a good thing
When there's plenty of hooch
And a fire and a bath
Sun up comes and I'm whistling
They say that even in the country you can scrub up clean
If you wisen up, if you're wise enough

Why live in the city when I can amuse myself in the stars?
Why live in the city if it's only gonna shit on my heart?
I ain't gonna sit around and watch things falling apart
