Goin' to the city, got you on my mind
Country sure is pretty,
I'll leave it all behind
This is my decision,
I'm comin' home
To stay this time
'Cause I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city
Fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city
Breathin' all the clean air,
Sittin' in the sun
When I get my train fare,
I'll get up and run
I'm ready for the city,
Air pollution here I come!
'Cause I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city
I'm like a fish out of water
I'm just a man in a hole
The city lights turn my blues into gold
I ain't no country boy,
I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit
Just as fast as I can
I'm tired of layin' back,
Hangin' around
I'm gonna catch that train,
Then I'll be city bound
I ain't no country boy,
I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit
Just as fast as I can
I'll get off on Main Street,
Step into the crowd
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah,
Traffic's good and loud
When I see my inner city child,
I'll be walkin' on a cloud
