Urban Shadows on a Dusty Road

Lyrics

[Verse]
Met her down by the train tracks
She wore city lights in her hair
Said goodbye to the wheat fields
Left my boots in despair
In her eyes
I saw the skyline
A world so big and bright
But I felt the weight of darkness with every long
Wild night

[Verse 2]
She spun tales of restless freedom
On sidewalks
Neon glows
I left behind the haylofts
Followed as the retreat grows
In the shadows of the alleys
With whispers I couldn’t trace
Found a sorrow
Found a heartbeat
In her cold embrace

[Chorus]
Oh
City girl
You showed me the light
Pulled me from the fields into endless night
Oh
Bright lights
Burning slow
Down the twisted trail we go

[Verse 3]
In the flicker of the lamplights
She offered me a taste
A world of pure sensation
Nothing could go to waste
Through the haze and through the thunder
Begged for another round
But in those urban shadows
Hard to rise from the ground

[Verse 4]
On corners wrapped in twilight
Felt the weight of all my sins
From the farm town to the city
Where the night never ends
Eyes blurred with broken visions
Heart heavier than stone
In the city girl’s whispers
Lost the place I called home

[Chorus]
Oh
City girl
You showed me the light
Pulled me from the fields into endless night
Oh
Bright lights
Burning slow
Down the twisted trail we go
