Tough City – 3:06

David Graff – Supposed To Fly

All songs written by David Graff (SOCAN)

Well I’m heading into the west, boys, where the water meets the sky

And the wind blows strong and on and on and no one would bat an eye

At a man who might not answer if you ask him why he came

With a bottle of gin he’ll fit right in, in a town that earns it’s name – It’s a tough city

Well I used to be a husband and the father of a girl

And I was strong till the angels come and took her from this world.

So I set myself to killing every memory I knew

Till the nights and days became a haze of just tryin to make it through – in this tough city.   Tough city, aaah, but I still walk on.

Now I’m tired of all this concrete and these people and their ways

And these city lights, they burn all night and I haven’t slept for days

So I’m headed to the west, boys, where the mountains touch the sea

And we’ll wind it down in a better town where my spirit can be free – in tough city
