Goodbye Crazy City - Big Harp

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

Well light's outside advertising

Somebody else's dreams

Goodbye crazy city

Goodbye ugly pride

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

I thank you for your time

And all the girls and *** I did

When I was in my prime

Man I sure was something

The way I laid on 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 cheaply bole shirt

Go find some other loser

To dangle from your ropes

I watched you and your promises

Fan away the smoke

Goodbye crazy city

Goodbye goodbye crazy city

Goodbye crazy city

Goodbye goodbye crazy city

Goodbye
