Those bright city lights, oh they drew me like a flame Those cold country nights, they just never seemed the same But I made my big mistake, so I'm planning my escape And I'm heading for home I never imagined a nightmare like this Oh the city is hell on my own Believe me, it's you that I miss No, I can't stand this being alone I'm heading for home, heading for home This city's no friend, it's just a stranger in the night It's no use to pretend that I'll ever win this fight When I'm down I think of you, so I know what I must do I'll be heading for home I never imagined a nightmare like this Oh the city is hell on my own Believe me, it's you that I miss No, I can't stand this being alone I'm heading for home, heading for home You begged me to stay, but the city's call was strong I ran away, never thought I could be wrong Now this city life is hell, so I'm calling you to tell That I'm heading for home I never imagined a nightmare like this Oh the city is hell on my own Believe me, it's you that I miss No, I can't stand this being alone I'm heading for home, heading for home
