Where U Goin is the second track off of Arkells' second album Michigan Left. In it, Max describes Sarnia, Ontario, the hometown of his girl. She struggles with feelings of homesickness in her new home of Hamilton.
[Verse 1]
Now I heard about your hometown
From my cousins who live there
And I heard about the gold found
Enough for everyone to share
[Verse 2]
And I heard about the numbers
And I heard they were high
Nobody likes to t-t-talk about it
But everyone knows why
[Chorus]
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
You keep telling me "I'm fine"
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
But I can see it in your eyes
[Verse 3]
They never took you to Toronto (Well I heard about the gold found)
You've never been down to Detroit (Enough for everyone to share)
But talk about chemical valley (No one likes to talk about it)
Like you never seem to care (Oh oh oh oh)
[Chorus]
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
You keep telling me "I'm fine"
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
But I can see it in your eyes
[Bridge]
As we sit by the wall
In your room in Brandon Hall (Tonight)
You can tell in this light
They're just all bricks painted white (Tonight)
And you know in your bones
This might never feel like home
Tonight (Tonight, tonight)
403, 401, 402 you're on the run (Tonight, tonight)
Oh tonight! Oh!
[Chorus]
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
You keep telling me "I'm fine" (Oh oh oh oh)
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
But I can see it in your eyes, yeah I can see it in your eyes!
[Outro]
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
You keep telling me "I'm fine" (Oh oh oh oh oh)
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
You keep telling me "I'm alright"
But I can see it in your...
