Living in the country

far away from home,

how I miss those city lights,

yes I'm lost when I'm alone.

Grew up on the sidewalk,

always had a friend,

every day was something new

and the nights would never end.



I can hear you oh calling,

life in the city is calling.

I went away without knowing

changes you put me through.

Calling, life in the city is calling,

calling me back and I'm feeling

like I belong to you.



Living in the country

gave me time to see

traffic jams and neon lights,

baby mean a lot to me.

Bought myself some freedom

but it just don't feel the same

as the crowded streets and subway seats

and the place I got my name.



I can hear you oh calling,

life in the city is calling.

I went away without knowing

changes you put me through.

Calling, life in the city is calling,

calling me back and I'm feeling

like I belong to you.
