lyrics

I moved to the city to leave my past behind
Got caught up paying bills, worn down by the daily grind
I can’t find an honest face with a soul like mine
This city ain’t no friend of mine

I dropped in here like a paratrooper from a plane
I stopped in here like a stranger down from a train
I can’t find an open hand to save my life
This city ain’t no friend of mine

Looking for an answer, turning over stones
Going to carve my fate with my two hands alone
Living in a place where shadows pass me by
This city ain’t no friend of mine

Seven crows around my head whispering my name
Too much time in a basement room driving me insane
How much can one heart stand?
This city ain’t been no good friend of mine
This city ain’t been no friend of mine
This city ain’t been no friend of mine
