The City Al Green

I can see the lights of a city
A great big city, wonderful city
And the people standing all around
Standing on the ground and makin' a sound

I've been waiting for so long, I've gotta stop
Pretty soon my whole life will be gone, oh my

I can make no time that way
To the great big city
Wonderful city

Some people say that nothing's fair
Don't give a care, around in the sweaty air
I might as well just not be there
My heart's in despair, it's just looking sad

I see the lights now from so far
Gonna get out from my car

I've gotta make some time today towards
That great big city, I wanna go
To the beautiful city
The city, city (I wanna go to the city)

I can see that heaven not so far
Ridin' in my car, lookin' at a star
Won't you try to open up my heart
Lover wait there, don't you think it's fair-air?
