Moving to Philly
Seeking Renewal: "Moving to Philly" by American Ink
Lyrics
This town is dead and I want something better
This town is lifeless, and I desire something more fulfilling.
I'm moving west where the scene beats the bad weather
I'm heading west to a place where the cultural scene is better than dealing with unpleasant weather.
Gear into drive eyes are set to vacant stare
Engaging the car, my gaze is fixed on an empty, expressionless stare.
Far away sick could get lost but I don't care
Far from here, I could be lost in sickness, but I'm indifferent to the consequences.
As I get older I realize what I've got to do
With age, I understand what I must do in life.
God I swear someday I'll up and run away
I solemnly promise that one day I'll leave abruptly and escape.
I'm not calloused but I still can take the abuse so fire away
Although I'm not hardened, I can endure hardships, so go ahead and criticize.
I'm moving out to Philly
I'm relocating to Philadelphia.
I'll back these bags on a search for something new
I'll pack my bags, searching for a new and better life.
I'd cancel plans, but I don't have plans to lose
I would change my plans, but I have nothing to lose.
As I get older I realize what I've got to do
As time passes, I recognize my life's purpose.
God I swear someday I'll up and run away
I sincerely vow that one day I'll escape and run away.
I'm not calloused but I still can take the abuse so fire away
Despite not being emotionally tough, I can endure criticism, so go ahead and criticize.
I'm moving out
I'm making the move.
These city lights make my eyes grow weary fast
The lights of the city tire my eyes quickly.
I'll close these shades heading for the west-bound tracks
I'll close the blinds, heading towards the tracks leading west.
As I get older I realize what I've got to do
With growing age, I understand my life's purpose.
God I swear someday I'll up and run away
I genuinely swear that one day I'll leave suddenly and escape.
I'm not calloused but I still can take the abuse so fire away
Although not emotionally hardened, I can endure criticism, so go ahead and criticize.
I'm moving out to Philly
I'm relocating to Philadelphia.
