Wish I was back in the city
In my true love’s arms
She likes older men
They can’t resist her charms.
People disappearing everywhere you look
Don’t know where to draw the line
Only yesterday I seen somebody
Who was really in a bind.
Wish I was back in the city
Instead of this old bank of sand
With the sun beating down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand
People disagreeing on just about everything, yep
Makes you stop and wonder why
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
Who just couldn’t help but cry
