Vacant nights, synthetic lights Back where it started, no place left to Go this time, the discount wine Has clouded my mind, so I'll just have One more drink and spill more ink Let's raise a gla** to burning bridges Set's the same, the players change So bundle up kid, now you can't go home Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour Step back, then light a match and close the door I guess that's just River City for you Step outside, watch cars collide Just keep on moving, all in the past Stop lights dark in Highland Park I take a right, make footprints in new snow Next year the skies look clear
An optimist like January One weak smile, I've walked for miles I check the time, turn, inhale deep and go Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour Step back, then light a match and close the door I guess that's just River City for you Take in the moonlight Reflecting on strange times As seen through famine-stricken eyes Just try to walk on Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour Step back, then light a match and close the door I guess that's just River City for you Salad days, box 'em up and let it pour Step back, then light a match and close the door I guess that's just River City for you
