City Boy
(Sedaka/Greenfield)
Country livin' really gets me down
So I'm
headin' for the lights of town
Gonna kiss the country life goodbye
I got myself a brand new high.
Funky music where the lights are bright
Tell
the ladies I'll be there tonight.
It's a paradise of push and shove
I gotta get back to the streets I love.
Don't try to hide it
It's been decided
Down
in my soul
I'm a city boy, city boy.
I tried to fake it
I couldn't make it
Don't ya just know
Im a city boy,
city boy.
Ooh I got to satisfy it
Take me up town
and let me boogie all night long
Ooh I hate the peace and quiet
I wanna yell I wanna shout
I wanna dance til I burn
myself out.
I gotta be me, I gotta free me
Welcome me home
Im a city boy, city boy.
And now I know it, well don't I show it
Mama take a look at your city boy, city boy.
Bring
it on home, bring it on home to me
Bring it on home, baby bring it on home
It's the only place Ive ever been
Where they
never pull the sidewalks in
Life's a party and you can't go wrong
Cause Saturday night lasts a whole week long.
I gotta be me, I gotta free me
Welcome me home
Im a city boy, city boy.
And now I know it, well don't I show it
Mama take a look at your city boy, city boy.
Bring
it on home, bring it on home to me
Bring it on home, baby bring it on home to me
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring
me back, back to the city
Bring me back, back to the city
Bring me back, back to the city
Bring me back, back to
the city.
