City ways are gonna get you baby
City haze is gonna smog you in
City ways are gonna keep you baby
Down in the hollow you're in
Down in the hollow you're in
Everybody it seems is hustlin'
Just to get an extra dollar or two
When you think that it's your turn to have it
Someone's gonna step on you
You know they gonna step on you
And it's hard
A country life is all I've ever known, now
And it's hard
City life, girl, is bringin' me down
Is dragging me down
When you get to the end of your road now
And you're 'bout to lose life's tug-a-war
Just hang on to that last little moment
When you get it, bar the door, lock up the door
Take me back to the real thing babe
You know this place ain't right for me
Get me out of this hard, tight city
Take me back where I can re-breathe
You know I just wanna be free
Yeah, yeah
