I just wanna sing my song

So long to the city life

[Verse 2]
Am D
If I could get in touch with my cousin
Am D
Maybe we could go away for awhile
Am D
If we ever wanna come back
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 G/B
Girl, you know we're gonna be back in style
Am D
Twenty-seven hours later
Am D
We could buy a couple bottles of wine
Am D
We don't need the conversation
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 G/B
'Cause tonight, we're going back in time
[Chorus]
Am D
So long to the city life
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
So long to the neon sign

I'm gone — I'll trade the trouble, and the strife

So long to the city life
