Those City Lights
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
City girls are mighty fine
Lord to show style
Sweet perfume and fancy clothes
Sexy paint smile
I'll tell you how they love you
Now they yearn for quiet nights
But take them home and pretty soon
They'll miss those city lights
City lights
How they'll miss the city lights
The star sky would never really do
City lights
How we'll meet those city lights
And there's nothing a poor country boy can do
I woke up and I reached for her
To find that she had gone
She left a note addressed to me
It wasn't very long
I love you darling billy
And I'll think of you each night
But your world's just too far from mine
And I miss those city lights
City lights
I miss those city lights
The light's sky will never really do
City lights
I need no city lights
And there's nothing
A poor country boy can do
