Decks of Cards (So Long to the City) (Lyric) by wilco
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.
