Every time I walk down
Sunset early in the morning
I get to thinking when I walk
the whole night through
And it's then I turn my eyes
toward the heavens and thank
God
For that morning I awakened
on a pillow next to you
But I had to leave for
Philadelphia
Why that was, I'll never,
know I do believe
Philadelphia
Is as far away from hell as
any man can go
I remember when I left
you early in the morning
I kept on thinking you might
have loved me too
And I drove a little faster
than I did before I knew you
I have learned that
Sunday mornings were all too few
Had to leave for
Philadelphia
What that was I'll never ever know
I do believe that
Philadelphia is as far away from heaven as any
man can go
Now I never fail to see you
each and every morning
I close my eyes and I can
almost feel you there
What the hell,
so many men I've never even walked down sunset
I was in your arms a while,
so I've been everywhere
But I had to leave for
Philadelphia
Why that was, I'll never ever know
I do believe
Philadelphia
Philadelphia is as far away from
heaven as any man can go
Oh, every time I walk down sunset
early in the morning
I get to thinking when I walk
the whole night through
And it's then I turn my eye s
toward the heavens and thank
God
For all the mornings I awaken
for the pillow next to you
But I had to leave for
Philadelphia
Why that was, I'll never ever know
I do believe
Philadelphi a
Is as far away from
heaven as any man can go
I had to leave for
Philadelphia
Why that was, I nev er know
I believe, I believe that
Philadelphia
Is far away from here
