Rupert Holmes - Philly lyrics
[Rupert Holmes - Philly lyrics]
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
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
