Everybody's got to go
No lies, no crime
Just love all the time
Motor running we leave today
It ain't heaven but it's on the way
Salt city
Salt city
You're glory bound in this town
Salt city
Sunshine so bright
All day, all night
No need to wait
It's right, no mistakes
So come on!
I saw your heart in the lost and found
I told the man I got friends downtown
In salt city
Salt city
You're glory bound in this town
Salt city
Let's go!
