Those bright city lights, oh they drew me like a flame
Those cold country nights, they just never seemed the same
But I made my big mistake, so I'm planning my escape
And I'm heading for home
I never imagined a nightmare like this
Oh the city is hell on my own
Believe me, it's you that I miss
No, I can't stand this being alone
I'm heading for home, heading for home
This city's no friend, it's just a stranger in the night
It's no use to pretend that I'll ever win this fight
When I'm down I think of you, so I know what I must do
I'll be heading for home
I never imagined a nightmare like this
Oh the city is hell on my own
Believe me, it's you that I miss
No, I can't stand this being alone
I'm heading for home, heading for home
You begged me to stay, but the city's call was strong
I ran away, never thought I could be wrong
Now this city life is hell, so I'm calling you to tell
That I'm heading for home
I never imagined a nightmare like this
Oh the city is hell on my own
Believe me, it's you that I miss
No, I can't stand this being alone
I'm heading for home, heading for home
