Roku City Lyrics

I lost my mind 'bout I don't know when

I was caught doin' a line off a Mattress Firm bed, and I

Sleep through my days and I wake late at night

So I've grown an affliction with the sun or bright lights

But it seems

All my dreams

Are currently being crushed 'cause when I got out of the slammer

And I tried

To turn the key

The door to my apartment wouldn't open and the landlord said

"Son, you're gonna have to leave"

Now, I'd heard from a friend or two

There's a place you can go where all your dreams come true, and there's

Not much left here tying me down

So I packed up a bag, took a hit, then skipped town

But on my way

Out the state

Those red and blue lights came-a flashing from behind

So I tried

To find some shade

I waited out the night and I figured I'd hitch a ride when the morning came

And I said take me down to Roku City

Where the nights are long and the lights are pretty

A place where all your dreams come true

I asked a man 'bout what he might know

He said roads won't take you where you wanna go, so I'll

Have to do with the clothes on my back

And a one way ticket for the railway track

Either way

Some day

I'll be far away from here though I fear it'll be a long time

I won't mind

When I'm sittin' with a beer as my thoughts disappear, I

Lay my head down and say

Oh baby, take me down to Roku City

Where the nights are long and the lights are pretty

A place where all your dreams come true

When you're down in Roku City

It's a place you feel that you been already

You'll find a peace you never knew

Take me down to Roku City

Where the nights are long and the lights are pretty

A place where all your dreams come true

When you're down in Roku City

It's a place you feel that you been already

You'll find a peace you never knew

Take me down to Roku City

Where the nights are long and the lights are pretty

A place where all your dreams come true
