Lyrics For to the City - Family and Friends

For to the City

Well love I’m sorry
If we failed to do you justice
I hope you learn to trust us
Again, sometime soon
Well okay we tried
Is a lazy excuse for defeat and
Like a bird without the season
I’m left stranded
Just be honest with me
And I’ll do the same for you
Love I promise
When I say «I'll love you till death, is upon us»
You have my word
Take to the highway
For to the city
Where the prospects are plenty
Please don’t forget me
There’s a girl
With eyes like the summer
And they shine like no other
I know she’s somewhere inside you still
And I still love her
Well tell my mother
My father and my brother
That I’m off to the city
Where the folks are more pretty
Then they are friendly
There’s a girl
With eyes like the summer
And if I did not hunt her down
Too often I would wonder
Just what did become of her?
And I just don’t think
I’d forgive myself for that
