City Ate My Girl

We walk slowly down every aisle

Always raising glasses just to get it into my blood

Call me up when you've had too much, hun

I don't really mind it, I won't try to hide it at all

I'll stay for a minute, but I'm not gonna wait

I lost something simple at the county line

I lost something simple and it weighs on my mind

All you do is sit and fantasize

If you want her, go and get her

Give it over time

I lost something simple at the county line

I lost something simple, I've been reckless, my god

Another woman, I could do without

Don't tempt me, I already know

I could never fight for her

Still, I found it hard to leave when the city ate my girl

Stayin' at a friend's place

Trying to sort it out, feeling like we've run out of time

Man on a wire

I've been such a head case

Chasin' my own tail, lighting up with hotel signs

And I feel like a liar

I'll stay for a minute but not gonna wait

I lost something simple at the county line

I lost something simple and it weighs on my mind

All you do is sit and fantasize

If you want her, go and get her

Give it over time

I lost something simple at the county line

I lost something simple, I've been reckless, my god

Another woman, I could do without

Don't tempt me, I already know

I could never fight for her

Still, I found it hard to leave when the city ate my girl
