lyrics

I’m gonna stay in this town for the rest of my life,
I’m tired of chasing the morning light.
I’d like to stay here tonight if that’s alright.
I’m tired of chasing the morning light.

Crowds of people, move like water;
The current takes me far from where I want to be.
Lights go past, I’m travelling far from home,
Fluorescent beacons light my way.

You say, “Don’t be too long.”
You say… “Come back home.”

…to this town for the rest of my life,
I'm tired of chasing the morning light.
I’d like to stay here tonight if that’s alright.
I’m tired of chasing the morning light.

Night comes fast and I’m no closer,
To finding out where I wanna be.
Lights go past, I’m travelling far from home.
Fluorescent beacons light my way.

You say, “Don’t be too long.”
You say…“Come back home.”

...to this town for the rest of my life,
I’m tired of chasing the morning light.
I’m gonna stay in this town for the rest of my life,
I’m tired of chasing the morning light.
