Joshua Payne City Song Lyrics

City Song Lyrics

Go ahead and walk away from me



I can see what's going down



Dear boy, before you go



You had better hear me out







I've seen her face, I know her name



Comin' on to deal her drug



Like a summer field in flame



She's gonna light you up



But you think you're in love







I would give you every tear



But your destiny holds true



If I cried a lifetime still



This river would not save you



No, it would not save you







Something in you rages on



You know I don't believe the lies



Son, you're bound to prove me wrong



But I see doubt there in your eyes







I would give you every tear



But your destiny holds true



If I cried a lifetime



Still this river would not save you



No, it would not save you







I've been in the city for forty days



I recognize the devil behind that pretty face of hers



There's no mistaking this road you're taking



Will only break you down







There's nothing more that I can say



You're gonna go and prove me wrong anyway



Remember it's you that walked away



I will not compromise







Virgin Mother, light the way



All my weary breath is flown



I ran out of time to weep



A thousand, thousand sighs ago







Go ahead and walk away from here
