City Lights | Amanda Bennett

Song and lyrics by Amanda Bennett [Verse 1] I grew up a city girl, bright lights But I was never seen, always a shadow Town full of people but always alone [Pre-Chorus] Work all day Spend the night trying to find a way to drive away [Chorus] But I always find my way back The music of the radio plays the ballad of my life Song after song, each one an anthem The lights of the city dissolve behind No matter the turn, they always come back [Verse 2] Brampton in the rearview, 410 at midnight Tim Hortons cup cold in the console I tell myself this exit is different Same streets, same signal, same soul [Pre-Chorus 2] Work all day Spend the night with the engine running Still trying to find a way to drive away [Chorus] But I always find my way back The music of the radio plays the ballad of my life Song after song, each one an anthem The lights of the city dissolve behind No matter the turn, they always come back [Bridge] Maybe you need bright lights to make a shadow Maybe you need noise to hear your own echo Radio, don't you change that station You're the only one who knows where I've been [Final Chorus : softer then lift] I was a city girl, bright lights Never really seen, always a shadow Town full of people, still learning how to be alone And I always find my way back The radio plays the ballad of my life Song after song, each one an anthem The lights dissolve behind No matter the turn, they always come back © 2026 forevercharmer — All Rights Reserved.
