Surrender Dorothy Songtext

von Lynn Miles

A yellow road, pair of new shoes
No comfort, no laughs, no hometown news
The woods are too dark, this city's too big
I'm tired of being alone

Cause I found my courage
I wracked my brain
I lost my heart over and over again
Now I keep clicking my heels
I want to go home

And the man behind the curtain has let me down
My little friends have stopped calling me and coming around
These shoes are too tight
The damn dog's got fleas
Everybody's all but given up on me . . . yeah . . .

Well they are checking out my alibi
They are writing my sentence in the sky
I got a hurt that's deep
That I must not ignore

Cause I sang all the songs
I did all the dances
Guess I used up all my luck
Guess I'm not in Kansas . . . anymore

And the man behind the curtain has let me down
My little friends have stopped calling me and coming around
These shoes are too tight
The damn dog's got fleas
Everybody's all but given up on me . . . yeah . . .

The wind has died down
That rainbow's gone
Everybody's lost their shine
The days are way too long
I'll say it again: I'm tired of being alone . . . yeah

'Cause that tin is gonna rust
That straw is gonna burn
That heart's gonna break
That's what I've learned
So I keep clicking my heels
I wanna go home . .
