City Limit
That city boy
talked so sweet
He promised me the stars
but I got a neon moon
He broke my heart
in this big old lonely town
Now I'm up front on a Greyhound bus
tryin' to find my way out
Chorus
City limit, I've been lookin' for a sign
Any minute I'll be leavin' you behind
I think I've finally reached my
City limit, now it's time to cross the line
I've had my fill
of high rise dreams
I want to get back down to Earth
where I ought to be
I lost my way
in the place I've known too long
But the sweet sound of the wheels go 'round
saying I'm on my way home
