Different Cities - Vandaveer

I live in a different city

I have friends in other cities

I’m not searching for pity so much

No, it' just they’re a good bunch

If I could pick them all up and set them down

I’d dropped them gently in my new town

Washington, Columbia

Home to congressmen and wealthy senators

Full of hope, full of pride

Full of everything I cast aside

If I could pick them all up and put them down

I’d send them packing to their hometowns

I’d call my friends and throw a party

Toast our lives and our good fortune

We’d sing songs, we’d tell stories

Set up camp and start a new country

And if I could ring them up and invite them down

We’d talk all night and watch the sunrise

I live in different cities

And I have friends in other cities

I live in different cities

And I have friends in so many cities
