City lights are burning in the distance
Seems they’re tellin’ me to hurry home
But I can’t push these wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for me one more night alone

There’s time for me to take just one look over my shoulder
One last glance at what’s been going on
‘Cause I’ll be there at first light in the morning
We’ll pick up the pieces baby then we’ll be long gone

Pick up the pieces and run with me as fast as you can
You know you always said I was the man
Pick up the pieces let’s do it now let’s say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late as far as I can tell
