Goodbye Crazy City
Goodbye, crazy city
You're too much for me
Give me what you owe me
I'll take it, then i'll leave
I never slept so fitful
As bleeding on your sheets
With the lights outside advertising
Somebody else's dreams
Goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, ugly pride
The shadowy companion
Who had swaggered by my side
We fell down together
I tried, but i could not stand
Watched him spring up to his feet
To hold up another man's hand
Goodbye, crazy city
Thank you for your time
And all the girls and drugs i did
When i was in my prime
Man, i sure was something
The way i laid 'em low
And i still got the will
But the legs ain't there no more
Goodbye, crazy city
We sure had a run
I really thought i'd made it
In the days when i was dumb
I thought you were my cradle
You held me in your hands
Squeezed out every penny
Then you cut me loose and ran
Goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, crazy city
I'd cry if i knew how
But you beat the tears right out of me
When i first came to town
I'm staring out my window
Watching you get small
Sitting through a turbulence
Half-hoping that we fall
Goodbye, crazy city
Spooled out in the dirt
Like golden thread unraveling
From a cheap league bowler's shirt
Go find some other loser
To dangle from your ropes
I watched you light your promises
And fan away the smoke
Goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, goodbye, crazy city
You're too much for me
Give me what you owe me
I'll take it, then i'll leave
I never slept so fitful
As bleeding on your sheets
With the lights outside advertising
Somebody else's dreams
Goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, ugly pride
The shadowy companion
Who had swaggered by my side
We fell down together
I tried, but i could not stand
Watched him spring up to his feet
To hold up another man's hand
Goodbye, crazy city
Thank you for your time
And all the girls and drugs i did
When i was in my prime
Man, i sure was something
The way i laid 'em low
And i still got the will
But the legs ain't there no more
Goodbye, crazy city
We sure had a run
I really thought i'd made it
In the days when i was dumb
I thought you were my cradle
You held me in your hands
Squeezed out every penny
Then you cut me loose and ran
Goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, crazy city
I'd cry if i knew how
But you beat the tears right out of me
When i first came to town
I'm staring out my window
Watching you get small
Sitting through a turbulence
Half-hoping that we fall
Goodbye, crazy city
Spooled out in the dirt
Like golden thread unraveling
From a cheap league bowler's shirt
Go find some other loser
To dangle from your ropes
I watched you light your promises
And fan away the smoke
Goodbye, crazy city
Goodbye, goodbye, crazy city
