Lyrics The City - Joe Purdy

The City

Float down the river with my Matty D and Jay
Get off the boat and board a plane to JFK and I
Haven’t slept in a week
But it don’t seem to matter to the subway speakers squeaking at my feet
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling on
Grand Central Station got a windy coming down
Independence yesterday, ain’t no one around
Oh I still recognize her after all these years
She still looks the same
Oh, she still looks the same
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
Oh, we just keep on rolling
Rolling on
Rolling on
When we left Brooklyn it was raining so hard
Come up on 8th and the rain it cleared off
We’re just people watching on 3rd and St. Mark’s
Wendy girl just kissing my face, my face
She was just kissing my face
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
Again, again, again
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
Oh, we just keep on rolling
Rolling on
Rolling on
Just when I was sick and down
There was a shaking on the ground
We were hiding from the rain
We were riding on the train
Just when I was sink and down
There was a shaking on the ground
We were hiding from the rain
We were riding on the train
She was dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
She was dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
Dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
Dancing on the midway
Just waving goodbye
