Bright Lights

She got out of town
On a railway, New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway

Well, some things in this world
You just can't change
Some things you can't see
Until it gets too late

And baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world

And maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home

I got a hole in me now
Yeah, I got a scar I can talk about
And she keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city

Some things in this world
Man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't leave until they leave you 
Then they're things that you miss, you say

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world

And maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home

Let that city take you in (come on home)
Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Let that city take you down, yeah
For God's sake turn around

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world

Yeah well, maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you, well
Turn yourself around, girl, come on home

Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home

Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home
