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



Chorus

I tried to fake it I couldn't make it

Down in my soul I'm a city boy, city boy

I tried to hide it, it's been decided

Don't you just know I'm a city boy, boy

Oh I gotta satisfy it

Take me up town and let me boogie all night long

Oh I hate the peace and quiet

I gotta yell, I gotta shout, I gotta dance till I burn myself out



I gotta be me, I gotta be free

Welcome me home I'm 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



music



Bring it on home, bring it on home to me

Bring it on home, bring it on home to me



It's the only place I've ever been

Where they never pull the sidewalks in

Life's a party and you can't go wrong

Cos Saturday night lasts a whole week long



I tried to fake it I couldn't make it

Down in my soul I'm a city boy, city boy

I tried to hide it, it's been decided

Don't you just know I'm a city boy, boy

Oh I gotta satisfy it

Take me up town and let me boogie all night long

Oh I hate the peace and quiet

I gotta yell, I gotta shout, I gotta dance till I burn myself out



I gotta be me, I gotta be free

Welcome me home I'm 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
