Lyrics
The city lights are peakin? o?re the horizon
My engine?s hummin? rollin? down the road
I?m bound to see a goddess oh my long lost friend
Chuggin? along with a godawful heavy load
Been a few months since I?ve seen her long brown hair
A few more since I?ve heard that golden laugh
Pull through another booth to pay another fare
Oh Lord don?t let me veer from this path
The city lights are beamin? down upon me
I?m lost in a maze of winding blocks
Follow signs to her house and charge another fare
And park in the lot of cobblestone and rocks
As I climb out of my old bustin? ride
I see her a standin? at the gate
Approaching I try to confide
Pushin? away she says, ?You were lost now you?re too late.?
So now the city lights are reflecting off my mirror
I?m westbound leaving town and her behind
And as they fade off behind me it gets clearer
I was lost and another like her I?ll never ever find.
