about

A song about sending someone back to the city they come from... and potentially buying their ticket for them.

lyrics

Don't you call me on my birthday--
You know I'd of stuck around if there was more to say.
But I can hear your rumbling from six months away.

Don't tell me I've got mail waiting--
Everyone in this town knows what address to find me and my demons.
And even the postman and I, we've got an agreement.

Get back on the bus.
That funny city gonna call you away.

Don't you step foot on my front porch,
Don't you slow down when you're driving by my place.
Don't show inside my coffeeshop, my grocery store, this hallowed ground your face.

Get back on the bus.
That funny city gonna call you away.

Don't you think it's leaving time,
Settle in with your Sunday Times.
All those things you'll leave behind--
Don't think of what you'll leave behind--
Away, that funny city gonna blow you away.
