Dr. John - City Lights Lyrics

Dr. John Lyrics

"City Lights"

Too many city lights
Too many midnights on the wrong side of life
Too many honky-tonk-never-happen-women
Gave me no time to find
A good wife of my own

All my yesterdays and tomorrows
Are all startin' to look the same
All the places are filled with people
Without faces without name

Too many city lights
Too many midnights make me die some every day
Too many never-was-never-will-be-partners
Never gave me time to find
A real friend along the way
Never time to find a good wife
Never time to find a real friend
