lyrics

La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la

The city sets the pace
The city sets the pace
And I put my pencil to the drive line
And take my place

I know I’ve made mistakes
I know I’ve made mistakes
And I made the biggest one by
Shedding my red blood for this place

Cause there’s too much noise in this town
And there are too many ways to drag a man down
I only thought I could help you
Cause I thought I’d stick around
But there’s just too much noise in this town

La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la

To everyone who's seen me around town
I told more lies with my eyes than with my mouth
I tried to hear you out
I tried to hear you out
But every time you reassure me
It leaves me more doubt

Cause there’s too much noise in this town
And there are too many ways to drag a man down
I only thought I could help you
Cause I thought I’d stick around
But there’s just too much noise in this town

La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la la la

Cause there’s too much noise in this town
And there are too many ways to drag a man down
They only ever want you when you’re not around
But there’s just too much noise in this town

The city sets the pace
The city sets the pace
The city sets the pace
And I know my place
