Sunset has cast upon the alley
I've had no phone calls today
They're tall mountains
That keep you in that valley
And I miss you
But I'm not the type to pray
If I were though
I know what I'd say
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
Oh I don't think I'll be calling you tonight
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
Or I'll sing this til the morning comes to light
The girls came to work down in the factory
Left all their lovers behind
Sent home pennies to buy more seed
And now I send you one of mine
Keeping busy sure makes me feel fine
(Chorus)
Two blocks left on Harper is the lamplight
No one there has wisdom in their eyes
But when I'm singing hard I feel alright
It's a hard one
Pride
Some years from now I imagine
When we all see the past as today
You'll saddle up your horse and wagon
And come, look at how far I've strayed
You'll say, Baby, you were always a city girl
Pretty, in a lonely kind of way
(Chorus)
