 (Repeat above)
  Goin' to the city Got  you on my mind
  Country sure is pretty  I  leave  it all behind
  This  is my decision, I'm comin'  home to stay this time 'cause
  I'm a fool  for the city  Fool  for the city
  Fool  for the city  Fool for the city
  Breathin' all the clean air  Sittin' in the sun
  When I get my train fare  I get up and run
  I'm  headed for the city Air  pollution  here I come
 (Chorus)
  I'm  like a fish out of water  I'm just a man in a hole
  The  city lights turn my blues in to 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
