Marchin’ To The City      Well I'm sitting in church   In an old wooden chair   I knew nobody   Would look for me there   Sorrow and pity   Rule the earth and the skies   Looking for nothing in   Anyone's eyes      Once I had pretty girls   Did me wrong   Now I'm marching to the city   And the road ain't long      Snowflakes are falling   Around my head   Lord have mercy   It feel heavy like lead   I been hit too hard   Seen too much   Nothing can heal me now   But your touch      Once I had a pretty girl   She done me wrong   Now I'm marching to the city   And the road ain't long      Loneliness   Got a mind of its own   The more people around   The more you feel alone   I'm chained to the earth   Like a silent slave   Trying to break free   Out of death's dark cave      Once I had a pretty girl   Done me wrong   Now I'm marching to the city   And the road ain't long      Boys in the street   Beginning to play   Girls like birds   Flying away   I'm carrying the roses   That were given to me   And I'm thinking about paradise   Wondering what it might be      Once I had a pretty girl   She done me wrong   Now I'm marching to the city   And the road ain't long      Go over to London   Maybe gay Paree   Follow the river   You get to the sea   I was hoping we could drink from   Life's clear streams   I was hoping we could dream   Life's pleasant dreams      Once I had a pretty girl   But she done me wrong   Now I'm marching to the city   And the road ain't long         Well the weak get weaker   And the strong stay strong   The train keeps rolling   All night long   She looked at me   With an irresistable glance   With a smile   That could make all the planets dance      Once I had a pretty girl   She did me wrong   Now I'm marching to the city   And the road ain't long      My house is on fire   Burning to the skies   I thought the rain clouds   But the clouds passed by   When I'm gone   You'll remember my name   I'm gonna win my way   To wealth and fame      Once I had a pretty girl   But she did me wrong   Now I'm marching to the city   And the road ain't long
