City Life
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.
Well, I'm down and I'm out
And I've had it to here with the city life
Gonna grab me a plane
That'll take me back home to my folks
Maybe real soon
Just as soon as I get a few dollars ahead
Well, then you'll see
Gonna show up in person
Instead of those letters I never write
How does that sound ma?
You tell Dad I got a deal
That's gonna make me a million tomorrow
Yeah and it's a cinch to come through
If I just hang around for a little while
Just temporarily
City life
Oh, city life
Oh, city life
City life, city life
