The Delines - He Told Her the City Was k**ing Him lyrics

He told her the city was k**ing him Everyone was stacked in a row She was thirty five years old He was the first man she ever fell in with The first man she ever lived with Her friends told her it was a mistake But she quit her job and used the money she'd saved They packed up her car and drove To the dessert and the new used out home She got a job in a bank He got drunk one night and threw a chair at her while she was sleeping Now she's staring out the window getting old Such a price to pay for not wanting to live alone She never knew where he'd go But he was hardly ever home And he said the dessert was k**ing him So they packed her car and moved They pick up and start again They'd fall apart and start again Lose a job and start again Get bruised up and start again Now she's staring out the window getting old Such a price to pay Now she's staring out the window getting old Such a price to pay for not wanting to be alone
