Текст песни: City Lights + перевод

The river sings a sad love song

And the rain outside just sings along

And we all dance for the lonely

Well over that hill, sun’s waitin' for me

Up in Johnson City, Tennessee

We got a show tomorrow in Nashville

So I tried to call you on my telephone

But your answerin' machine told me you ain’t home

Baby girl, when you gonna realize

That you can’t wash away all your pain

With your dirty wine and cheap champagne?

You’re just dancing for the lonely

And goddamn this city

To hell with the cold dark nights

And my god you look so pretty

Under those city lights

And every town and every place

There’s a blue eyed story with a pretty face

Just achin' for a little attention

She’s a hometown girl alone at the bar

She tried to get out but she didn’t get far

Now she’s stuck here for a lifetime

Aw but when she puts on that dancin' dress

Lips are blood red and her hair’s a mess

And she’s ready to fall in love tonight

Aw but after a few, they all look the same

And I don’t even think that he asked her name

She’s just another notch on the bedpost

And goddamn this city

To hell with the cold dark night

And to think that she looked so pretty

Under those city lights

And what part of this have we not been through?

What good is some money if I ain’t got you?

Just know in your heart that I miss you

Well I hate to cut it short, but babe I’ve gotta go

The boys are headed up to Ohio

How I wish it was Carolina

And goddamn this city

To hell with the cold dark nights

And my god you look so pretty

Under those city lights

And my god you look so pretty

Under those city lights
