City Lights (feat. The Time Jumpers) Lyrics

Willie Nelson City Lights (feat. The Time Jumpers)

A bright array of city lights as far as I can see
The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me
The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite

But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights
The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night
