Far Off City Lights © TjM

Far off city lights, oh fabled gold
Where dreams are bought, and souls are sold
Far-off pretty lights, I'm not supposed to see
They say my songs are crazy – nothin’ special ‘bout me
Turn my head and there's a ghost. Pointing me down that road

Far… off… City Lights
Far… away… find me
Far from ole’ yellow porch lights
And those hand-me-down dreams
Far off city lights – fame’s halo
Temptation never sleeps – won’t ever get old
Far off pretty lights – had to climb to see
Stage Lights – encores, my name on that marque

Painted smiles and angel eyes. My songs the crowd harmonized.

Far… off… city lights
Far… away… come see
My ways headline craze
Search Lights – all waitin’ on me

Far off city lights – sweet vanity
Praise baits the hook – first taste is free
Far off pretty lights – fool’s gold
Neon flickers, dawns on me – there ain’t no halos
Far off city lights - mirror me
Album called Broken Dream
Drivin’ towards the headlights, passin’ those who believe
Far off city lights – they’re the next big thing

Corner of my eye there’s a ghost – lantern at my mile post

Far off city lights
All the lies I’ve been
Far beyond the make believe
I bought their ole’ – those ole’ hand-me-down dreams… they’re all hand-me-down dreams…
Brought home misery – take it from me – take them from me
