Keys to the City

I've got a thing to do

And I know it's gonna hurt you

I'm sure it will cost me too

But I'm willing to pay my dues

Red blood in vessels of blue

It's hard to believe but true

I've got a thing to do

I hope it will get me through

Chorus:

Come on now let's leave this party

We don't care what they do or say

I'll never get the keys to the city

I'm only staying for one day

Hold your ground, don't ever look down

Stare 'em straight in the eye

I'll never get the keys to the city

I don't care I'm only passing by

I've got a thing to do

I'm afraid I'll miss my cue

You only get a second or two

Tell me now what would you do?

Red blood in vessels of blue

It's the truth, it's nothing new

I don't want to make you blue

It's something I have to do

Chorus

Tomorrow I'll be far away

I'm only staying for one day

I'll never get the keys to the city

I've got a thing to do

And I know it's gonna hurt you

I'm sure it will cost me too

But I'm willing to pay my dues

Red blood in vessels of blue

It's hard to believe but true

I've got a thing to do
