Over deze songtekst:
Over 'Flannery' zei Kevin: "I was reading The Violent Bear It Away by Flannery O'Connor around the time I was writing City Music and this scene really jumped out at me, touching on a sentiment I was going for with the album. The idea of someone who’s never seen a city — not even from afar — seeing one in the distance for the first time and mistaking it for a fire is very powerful to me. I had to get this cleared by the Flannery O'Connor Estate and after sending them a letter they got back to me and were very kind and helpful in letting me use the passage. I had my good friend and wonderful musician Meg Baird read this as I love not only her singing, but also speaking, voice."
"Look!" Tarwater said suddenly, sitting forward his face close to the windshield. "We're headed in the wrong direction. We're going back where we came from. There's the fire again. The fire we left." Ahead of them in the sky there was a faint glow, steady and not made from lightning. "That's the same fire we came from" the boy said in a high voice. "Boy, you must be nuts" the sailsman said "that's the city we're coming to, that's the glow from the city lights."
