Detroit City ("...
The home folks think I'm big in Detroit City.
From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine.
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars,
If only they could read between the lines.

I wanta go home ... ")

Up On The Roof (Carole King & Gerry Goffin)

(...
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.
I get away from the bustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street.

...

Right smack down in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof,
So if this world starts getting you down
there's room enough for two up on the roof.
