Fireflies and dogfights
Runnin' hot in the heat
Street noise, another bribe

Things too hard to believe-
so head out


My heart's in the country
My feet's in the city with you
All my friends are eatin' sushi

Talkin' bad about you know who who who
My tongue's talkin' riddles
But I just can't seem to find a clue

So I take a swig of whiskey
And jump into the saddle with you you you


And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy
blues
I got the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy
blues


Cats in the alley
Rats in my snakeskin boots
All my neighbors think I'm crazy

And my girl thinks I'm losin' my cool cool cool And I just can't
seem to break the
shackles of the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues
And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy
blues


Don't look to Jesus to change your seasons
It's the American dream

Souls of gypsies, road of stone
Can't seem to find no peace so head out


And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy
blues
I got the city boy blues

I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues

And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy
blues


I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues,
I got the blues
I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues,

I got the blues
