Phoenix from 50 Songs by Shane Cooley

Phoenix

Sometimes you just know when it’s time to go
To pack it up and go
Where people don’t know your name
Where people don’t know

So when the shit went down
I was bound for California
But never got around
So I set out for Arizona to start anew
To start anew
But Phoenix you’re not my home

Phoenix you’re not my home
But I love you all the more for that
I love you all the more

The bar lights and desert stars
They call my name like they have before
But I don’t see her face
I don’t see her face anymore

And tragedy feels like a fairy tale now
With a moral untold
So I’m just passing time
I’m just passing time
Phoenix you’re not my home
Phoenix you’re not my home
But I love you all the more for that
I love you all the more

Phoenix you’re not my home
But I love you all the more for that
I love you all the more

So here is a toast to the East Coast
Here is a toast to the East
Good riddance to me
Good riddance to me
Phoenix you’re not my home

Phoenix you’re not my home
But I love you all the more for that
I love you all the more
Phoenix you’re not my home
But I love you all the more for that
I love you all the more
