Marty Robbins - The City lyrics

rate me

Three years ago she left me in the valley<br />

Said, the city life was what she wanted more<br />

She said, life in the valley was to simple<br />

Excitement was what she wanted more<br />

<br />

She said, she'd be important in the city<br />

Didn't she know how important she was here<br />

For three years now I watched alone and waited<br />

Somethin' told me that I would see her once again<br />

<br />

Today I'm gonna drive down to the station<br />

And I'll pick her up and bring her home at last<br />

So often I've said that I'd forgive her<br />

For anything that's happened in the past<br />

<br />

Last week I got a letter from the city<br />

Sayin' they were going to send me what was mine<br />

She's commin' back to stay here in the valley<br />

She's returning in a simple box of pine<br />

<br />

I guess I'll take a ride by the river<br />

Even though my heart would break<br />

And I'll give her flowers like I used to give her<br />

We're together once again for old time's sake<br />

<br />

Oh, she never was important in the city<br />

Just a girl whose lucky star will never shine<br />

But she's commin' back to stay here in the valley<br />

She's returning in a simple box of pine
