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
