lyrics

City lights they are blinding
All these things I’ve been hiding
And all those places I shouldn’t be
Is where they still find me

I have given you so many things
That you have wanted and I no longer need
But I can’t let you get a hold of these dreams
Those still belong to me

Boy you’re running out of chances
I don’t have much more to give
It’s up to you
What you say and what you do
How you’re gonna be
How you’re gonna live

City lights they are blinding
Makes it harder to find me
In all those places I shouldn’t be
Is where they still find me

I have given you so many things
That you have wanted and I no longer need
But I can’t let you get a hold of these dreams
Those still belong to me

Boy we’re running out of chances
I don’t have much more to give
It’s up to you
What you say and what you do
How we’re gonna be
How we’re gonna live

Now we’re running out of chances
I don’t have much more to give
It’s up to you
What you say and what you do
How we’re gonna be
How we’re gonna live

City lights they are blinding
Makes it harder to find me
In all those places I shouldn't be
The city lights blind me

Arlo Mckinley Cincinnati, Ohio

Arlo McKinley has washed his songs in the blood of street soul, country, punk and gospel – and tattooed them onto the underground.
Filled with an honest weight and gritty-hope from rustbelt city life, McKinley rolled downriver to Memphis’ Sun Studio where Grammy Award-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang gathered a working man’s all-star band to record his Oh Boy Records debut, “Die Midwestern.” ... more
