Philly - Rupert Holmes

Momma, you came from northern Tennessee

Pappa, you said the country’s no good for me

You had so much to gain, ya moved on to Pennsylvania lights

Philly, you were the town where I was born

Philly, you’re where I end up, cotton coat torn

So much for making millions

Seems like I’ve seen a billion nights

Oh, but Philly, you’ve been the friend I never knew

Philly, your brother love was always true

Philly, you’ve been beside me bright or blue

Brother, pushing a hack, you’ll never win

Sister, you spread your life a little too thin

I had no time for grievin'

Too hard just breakin' even then

Philly, dudes from New York don’t know your face

Don’t need nobody else, we got our own place

Maybe it’s down to earth

At least we know what we’re worth, amen

Oh, and Philly, you’ve been the friend I never knew

Philly, your brother love was always true

Philly, you’ve been beside me bright or blue

So much for making millions

Seems like I’ve seen a billion nights

Oh, and Philly, you’ve been the friend I never knew

Philly, your brother love was always true

Philly, you’ve been beside me, bright or blue

Philly, Philly…
