Got to get out of the city
We all feel this way inside, once or twice in life
Sounds like Neil Young meets Steely Dan with a Little Everly Brothers style harmonies
Classic rock and Folk fans Jeff Brown and Kirt Bowman combine their talents for a unique blend of original work.
Story behind the song
Perhaps based on past regrets, we all have those.
Lyrics
"Got To Get Out Of The City" by JT Brown
I’m runnin’ from the man and he’s got me in a jam,
Now I’ve got to get out of the city.
I’ve taken my chance and I’ve danced my last dance,
Now I’ve got to get out of the city.
You said we were through, but I still love you.
Honey, you just don’t know where I’ve been.
I’ve taken some licks and I’ve played some fast licks,
Now I’ve got to get out of the city.
I’ve gotten some money without tryin’ to be funny,
Now I’ve got to get out of the city.
Just take my advice, and I won’t leave you twice.
Honey, you just don’t know where I’ve been.
I’ve been on this road so long that my soul is numb.
Walkin’ this tightrope toward the dyin’ sun, livin’ on the run.
I’ve gotten the best and I did all the rest,
Now I’ve got to get out of the city.
I’ve been where it’s fast but those things just don’t last,
Now I’ve got to get out of the city.
When they said there was none, I said, “Don’t matter, it’s done.”
Honey you just don’t know where I’ve been.
I’ve been on this road so long that my soul is numb.
Walkin’ this tightrope toward the dyin’ sun, livin’ on the run.
