Howdy High-Rise

[Verse 1]
Howdy, high-rise
How you doing?
Did you come here for the view?
Well, that’s the hard thing for me
At one time, I sure did too

[Verse 2]
Howdy, high-rise
Where did you come from?
I bet you’re in from out of state
You’re making money for California
Take your profit and be on your way

[Verse 3]
Howdy, high-rise
Who do you know here?
It seems like only a very few
The rest, we stare up your tower and wonder
What it’d be like to be you

[Verse 4]
Howdy, high-rise
You’re so bright now
I didn’t notice the sun had set
It’s in your shadow we spend our mornings
You’re in our window, lying in bed

[Verse 5]
Howdy, high-rise
What type are you?
Just vacations or for a while?
Either way, you’ll be moving on
Once our city is out of style

[Verse 6]
Howdy, high-rise
My friends all left me
They couldn’t take your point of view
Your shining silence betrays your money
There’s a violence in your roots

[Verse 7]
Howdy, high-rise
Guess I’ll be going
I doubt you’ll notice or even care
Whatever drew you to our small city
It’s probably no longer here
