Lyrics
[Verse 1] I came in with dust on my shoes From the west side bus Two bags, one old phone And a name they never trust The clerk looked up twice Then looked straight through Like i was just another face That the room could lose [Pre-Chorus] But i keep my head high I keep my breath slow If they ask where i’m from I tell them, "here i go" I got miles in my eyes And a fire in my chest You can lock every door But you can't stop the rest [Chorus] City lights don't know my name City lights don't know my name But i do I do I walk through rain I still stay sane City lights don't know my name But i do [Verse 2] Corner store screen Throwing blue on the glass A girl at the counter Said, "you moving too fast" I laughed like i meant it Paid cash, no change Put my heart in my pocket Kept my face unchanged [Pre-Chorus] And i keep my head high I keep my breath slow If they ask where i’m from I tell them, "here i go" I got miles in my eyes And a fire in my chest You can lock every door But you can't stop the rest [Chorus] City lights don't know my name City lights don't know my name But i do I do I walk through rain I still stay sane City lights don't know my name But i do [Bridge] One day, maybe They'll say it right One day, maybe I'll own this night Till then i keep moving One step, one flame If the whole world forgets me I won't forget my name [Final chorus] City lights don't know my name City lights don't know my name But i do I do I walk through rain I still stay sane City lights don't know my name But i do City lights don't know my name But i do
