City Boy Blues

[Intro]

Fireflies 'n' dogfights

Runnin' hot in the heat

Street noise, another bribe

Things too hard to believe, so head out

[Verse 1]

My heart's in the country

My feet's in the city with you

All my friends are eatin' sushi

Talking bad about you know who, who, who

[Verse 2]

My tongue's talkin' riddles

But I just can't seem to find a clue

So I take a swig of whiskey

Jump into the saddle with you, you, you

[Chorus]

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

Hey, I got the city boy blues

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

[Verse 3]

Cats in the alley

Rats in my snakeskin boots

All my neighbors think I'm crazy

And my girl thinks I'm losing my cool, cool, cool

[Chorus]

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

Well, I got the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

[Bridge]

Don't look to Jesus to change your seasons

It's the American dream

Souls of gypsies, roads of stone

Can't seem to find no peace, so head out

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

I got the blues, I got the blues

I got the city boy blues

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

[Outro]

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues

Got the blues, got the blues

Hey, I said I got the blues
