The City Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Three years ago she left me in the valley 

Said, the city life was what she wanted more 

She said, life in the valley was to simple 

Excitement was what she wanted more 

She said, she'd be important in the city 

Didn't she know how important she was here 

For three years now I watched alone and waited 

Somethin' told me that I would see her once again 

Today I'm gonna drive down to the station 

And I'll pick her up and bring her home at last 

So often I've said that I'd forgive her 

For anything that's happened in the past 

Last week I got a letter from the city 

Sayin' they were going to send me what was mine 

She's commin' back to stay here in the valley 

She's returning in a simple box of pine 

I guess I'll take a ride by the river 

Even though my heart would break 

And I'll give her flowers like I used to give her 

We're together once again for old time's sake 

Oh, she never was important in the city 

Just a girl whose lucky star will never shine 

But she's commin' back to stay here in the valley 

She's returning in a simple box of pine
