Sacramento Lyrics - Herd Runners - Cherry Ghost

Sacramento's half the city since you took that job two states away 

I count the days as I wait these tables trying to save the fund to come and stay 

And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if I tried 

It's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive. 

Old Mr Linden passed on his warmest regards from the window seat 

Since his good wife took leave of this life he ain't half the man he use to be 

And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if he tried 

And the stars up the skies may as well burn out if you ain't by my side 

Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for me 

One day I will be your king and you will be my queen 

Remember Joe, well they let him go down at the saw mill on the edge of town 

They say that pride can cost a man his life, well Joes taken to drinking now 

And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if they tried 

It's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive. 

Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for me 

One day I will be your king and you will be my queen 

The orange groves that line these roads ain't gonna offer me no sympathy 

The kids have grown and they miss you so, while you've been out there making history 

And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if we tried 

It's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive. 

Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for me 

One day I will be your king and you will be my queen
