Lyric № 104132
Decks of Cards (So Long to the City)
On a Greyhound bus to the ocean;
Taking the long way to ride
and I've been waiting for a lifetime
for something to wake me up inside.
There's a thousand reasons not to stay here,
and no excuses to remain.
Grown tired of bars and decks of cards,
and I know that it's the only way.
Chorus:
So long to the city I have known
for ten long years, lord knows I've tried.
And so long to the woman I love.
There's no better way to say goodbye.
This interstate is windin' through the heartland
One more mile away from broken dreams.
It never seems fair to have to leave your lover,
but the southern way's the way it's got to be.
A lonesome wind is blowin' through the willows
and I never knew it'd be as bad as this.
My guitars lost its sweet, sweet country feeling
and all I want is your pretty mouth to kiss.
So long to the city I have known
for ten long years, lord knows I've tried.
And so long to the woman I love.
There's no better way to say goodbye.

Perfection is mostly persued by those who wish to do harm to others.
People who harm others mostly do so because they're more perfect than them, and therefore entitled to it. This causes all of the people who aren't perfect enough to do harm to band together into tribes that claim they don't want perfection anyway. Then the tribes fall apart into jellylike puddles of complex carbohydrates, which is the lowest common denominator of all living things.
As far as the lyrics go though, not too shabby.
But really, I definately don't like country, it's a withering music style in my opinion, hangin by the thread of nostalgic hillbilly prom memories of Billy-Jake Roe snaking his hand underneath the skirt of his friends sister a year younger than he, but her bra's packed enough to let a lot of things slide with the aid of some potato gin.
But at heart I'm a rollin stones fan.. blues and rock intermixed in musical perfection. And yes, I do think Mc Jagger is an artistic genius. (though, having seen their last concert and the mummified look of the drummer, along with the fashion statement made by the guitarist made dennis rodman more tolerable to look at... for a short while anyway. Mc Jagger was the only one who seemed time capsuled with tight jeans and early eighties bar-shirt under his blue button-up shirt. Maybe he found the miracle drug that Cher has been praying for.)
They are, however, currently one of the best bands in America.
