LYRICS

Hello, city limits, I see your sign
Left all my worries way behind
Left all my troubles and heartaches there too
Hello, city limits, I’m starting out brand new

I need a change of scenery, I need it real bad
To help me forget all the hard times I’ve had
I’ve got a feeling I’ll find a love that’s true
Well, hello city limits, I’m starting out brand new

I haven’t told a soul just where I’m gonna be
Cause I don’t want the blues to catch up with me
I may decide to change my name too
Hello city limits, I’m starting out brand new
