Sunny ft. The Sentimentals Lyrics

Sunny came down to the city

Getting gone was the only way she knew

Far from the whispers and the rumours

What else was a small-town kid to do

Found a place out on the east side

Just a room at The Sugarland Motel

You could call it lost if you wanted

Sunny called it trying to find yourself

Sunny's Dad was one hard ticket

Mother was a hard ticket's wife

Spent most of her days keeping her head down

Getting on with her hard ticket life

She said Sunny just as long as I can remember

You were born a mystery to me

A little boy standing on the corner

Of who you are and who you want to be

And here I got some money I've been saving

Take it now before I change my mind

Take it now for every year I've been slaving

It might help to pay for the life you hope to find

The vale of truth is a thorny ramble

You got to walk that lonesome road all by yourself

But heaven help the desperate soul who gambles

On living their whole life as someone else

Me and Sunny been together since the Autumn

Now we take each season one day at a time

'Cause I believe that you smoke 'em if you got 'em

And you live the life that makes you whole inside
