"Heading For The City" lyrics

Heading For The City

All my friends
Packing up
Loading up their Volvo's
And their pick up trucks
Going down the road
To try their luck

So spin that dream
Go heading for the city

Roll that dice
Say a prayer
Light a candle for me
When you get there
Win or lose
We're heading for the city, yeah

Well, I got a problem
Hear what I say
They're telling me
I got to move away
I was happy here
They tell me I can't stay

Now what's screaming rain
Is heading this way
For those who sleep
And choose to stay
The game they didn't know
They had to play

Win or lose
We're heading for the city

So roll that dice
Say a prayer
Light a candle for me
When you get there
Win or lose
We're heading for the city, yeah

We're heading for the city, yeah
Oh, we're heading for the city, yeah
Oh, we're heading for the city, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Win or lose
We're heading for the city, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

We're heading for the city, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're heading for the city, yeah
