You came in to my life You cannot separate yourself You came in to my life You cannot separate yourself [Chorus: x2] And I found that round here In this city That I won't disappear In this city I got nothing to fear In this city, In this city Close those doors Close those doors now Now, now, just keep em open Keep em open Yea, keep em open I'll keep on, keep keep on going Taking it in so, so heavy Take it easy son, this ain't so deadly Got keep on, gotta go on, gotta go on Take it all with what we've done Gotta push it push it push it To the top of the building Even when no one is feeling It might bother you Don't let it If these people just don't get it They can't express it They won't accept it She said it's okay that they may never give you that credit. [Chorus: x2] I've been down here Down these roads People pass through Some stay some go Standing here broke Not a penny to my name But she says she loves me all the same I try my best And you do to And all you want is something you can move to Everybody's gotta get their kicks somewhere Everybody gotta fit in somewhere There's, an open road And I'm traveling down Don't know where to go But I lock and load Shoot that sky till the moon explode Moon explode Now we're laying in a field White flowers on our backs Talking bout home But we can't go back I guess that's why we left So we could take a step Keep moving and forget the rest. You came in to my life You cannot separate yourself You came in to my life You cannot separate yourself [Chorus: x2] And I found that round here In this city That I won't disappear In this city I got nothing to fear In this city
