Her Daddy's sweet lies

Mother, I'm beat, I'm so sick of
    Bm                Am
The street, feel like running away

        Em                    Am
There's no life here at all, the city seems so small
    C                Bm          Am          
The sweeter music is calling us away..let it play

You go it alone

Even the strong don't survive very long when
