Story Behind the Song
Written 10 years back while sitting in a coffee house along the banks of the Fox River.
Lyrics
City Nights
In the city nights that had dawned on me,
got nothing left but a cigarette and a red hot light.
Sitting on down in the good mans saloon,
everybody seems to be coming down on you.
You seem to be running low,
you seem to me like your running on empty.
Running when the daybreak in,
running when the night fade out.
Don’t you be the hiding one,
baby don’t you be the driving one.
Cause if you get caught your going down town,
and I can’t stand to see my lady friend go down like that anymore.
Not everybody’s looking to hurt you,
not everybody’s trying to bring you down.
When I’m calling out your name are you gonna be there to answer my call,
in the city nights that had dawned on me,
got nothing left but a cigarette and a red hot light.
Sitting on the stool in the slow hand saloon,
Everybody’s coming down on you.
Running down low,
running on empty,
running when the daybreak in,
running on free.
Don’t you be the driving one,
don’t you be the hiding one,
c’mon lady and follow on down to the mojo lounge.
