Sister Cities Lyrics
Written by Doug Mains

Well I've been all around
But one piece of this town
There sits a wise man
And his wisdom is sound
Says, "Take to the land
And take what you can
There's a story, there's a story
In every man."

I've walked up and down
The streets of this town
There walks a lady
With a melodic sound
Sings, "Take to the skies
You won't get very high
But you'll get closer and closer
With every try."

Chorus:
Sister cities right under my nose
The same i follow wherever it goes
But I'd not seen the sign that shows us of our blood
Sister Cities, ah, show us some love

I've been to the ground
And the ash of this town
And there stands a man
With a gentle sound
Says, "Take to the tree
And take to a knee
I'll show you, I'll show you
How to set your soul free."

Chorus

I've been homeward bound
Since the day I've been found
And I'll keep on walking
Til I am crowned
I'll say, "Love it was tough
But love was enough
When the talking came to pushing
When the push came to shove."

Chorus

Thought provoking lyrics run deep in Mains’ songs accompanied by lonely guitar pickings that swell to thunderous string harmonies. ... more
