la and chicago san antonio another man has left you behind another woman cries for a sweeter taste of life those days have gone to sadness in your eyes
standin' on the steps growin' older with regret as i travel down the roads of my past i wonder if she dreams of layin' in your arms late at night when stillness lingers on
chorus out of the city comes the blues grabbin' hold of me and you chokin' mem'ries by the hands of the truth out of the city comes the blues
denver tallahassee and lovely new orleans i wonder if you'll miss me when i'm gone some people they dont want to remember what has been blowin' kisses to the sadness in the wind
chorus
cocaine and the cops and the needles never stop they follow me where ever i go i always think of you and will you love me when i'm through and beggin' to be left all alone.
