Lyrics
City lights
Are easy on the eye
Way too late
You start to realize
When you truly need a friend
Truly need a helping hand
City lights
Are not pretty sight
Ain't living the dream
Familiar to me
Ain't living the dream
Plain to see
Ain't living the dream
Does not seem too fair
Ain't living the dream
Leads to nowhere
I'm packing up
Heading to open space
Cruising the dirt roads
To find a friendly face
If you're a stranger like me
This town is not the place to be
I'm packing up
Heading out of town
Ain't living the dream
Familiar to me
Ain't living the dream
Plain to see
Ain't living the dream
Does not seem too fair
Ain't living the dream
Leads to nowhere
