I'm going home before the evening comes
Cause I've been up one too many nights
And I'm too young to be, too young to be
This comfortable in these streets
I'm k**ing my morals in threes
They say there's no future for people like me
Cause I'm too young to be, too young to be
Free-
What they don't know about me
Is what I keep under my sleeve
(Chorus)
Goodnight city lights
Wish I could say that it's been fun
But the Top Dogs got me on the run
They say I'm too good to be such a Young Gun
Goodnight city lights
Everybody's out to bring me down
You keep low down on the Motown
They say I'm too good to be such a Young Gun
I'm moving on before the evening comes
Cause I've been here one too many nights
And I'm too good to be, too good to be...
Swapping pieces of my pride for cash
I hear they're dealing out souls over cards in the back
They're just trying to make a fool out of me
Oh it's too good to be, too good to be
Me-
They won't ever own me
So they ain't gonna let me be
(Chorus)
Goodnight city lights
Wish I could say that it's been fun
But the Top Dogs got me on the run
They say I'm too good to be such a Young Gun
Goodnight city lights
Everybody's out to bring me down
You keep low down on the Motown
They say I'm too good to be such a Young Gun
And I'm going home
I'm going home
