Space City Songtext
von Mike Cooley

If I could have one wish right now
I′d be about half as tough as I pretend I am
And I wouldn't care how empty this old house feels
I could take her things and take ′em far away from here

I could make sure no dirt ever got on her name
'Cause lookin' at that stone wouldn′t bring me so much pain
I could go into town wearin′ my finest clothes
I could turn these tears into blood and make it run ice-cold


Space City's one hour up the road from me
It′s one hour away from as close to the moon
As anybody down here's ever gonna be
And somewhere beyond that big white light
Is where my heart has gone
And somewhere she′s wonderin' what′s takin' me so long

My hands are as good to me as they've ever been
And I ain′t ashamed of anything my hands ever did
But sometimes the words I used were as hard as my fist
She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child, I guess

Space City′s one hour up the road from me
It's one hour away from as close to the moon
As anybody down here′s ever gonna be
And somewhere beyond that big white light
Is where my heart has gone
And somewhere she's wonderin′ what's takin′ me so long
