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
