Dog tired on my feet I wanna leave the city so bad

All the lonely streets I wanna leave the city so bad

Dog tired on my feet on my feet

Everything that we own turn the lights off and go

And never look back

You just say the word the word

Come on

You just say the word the word

I won't say no

Boy on the bus boy on the bus boy on the bus

I won'
