DETROIT OR BUFFALO
Writer: Barbara Keith
Publishers: EMI Feist Catalog Inc(ASCAP)/EMI Robbins Catalog Inc (ASCAP)
Original recording from the album ARABESQUE (1982)

People expect you to fall
Hit that same old wall
Really they don't wanna help at all
They talk behind your back today
They shake their heads and say
Gee I always knew that the girl would come to no good anyway

God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking the train to the end of the line, yeah
Missin' that boy a mile at a time

I haven't been too well myself
Too much time upon the shelf
Sayin' that I don't need help when I do, I do
Still I think I'm gonna be just fine
A lot of friends a little wine
Still I'm wishing I could see you again sometime

Gonna pack my bags and go to Detroit or Buffalo
And if anybody wants to know where, you don't know, you don't know
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking the train to the end of the line, yeah
Missing that boy a mile at a time

It's hard to open up that door
Like you've done so many times before
Sometimes you think you just can't do this anymore
Then you take a chance and take a train
Out into the pouring rain
When all you got there is your suitcase full of pain

Gonna pack my bags and go Detroit or Buffalo
And if anybody wants to know where, you don't know, you don't know
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking the train to the end of the line, yeah
Missing that boy a mile at a time
