Lights go down in the city And nothing seems so pretty It seems like such a pity To feel lost in the city No reason to feel alone Come on and make your way home 'Cause it’s been way too long And you know it’s where you belong East, north south, and west My home is still the best I’ve traveled near and far By plane and by car And as I play this old guitar The stars are calling me home It’s like a familiar melody The wind whistlin’ through the trees You feel the warmth of your family When you feel lost in the city And life don’t seem so pretty Just hum this little ditty You’ll escape and make your way home From the city Don’t be afraid to escape From the city
