Picking up wheels on the freeway
Shopping round downtown all day
Found a way to make a real deal

On a wheel

Summertime, trying to bum a ride

Catch a dime from the next fellow
Hell of a time, bumming a ride
In the summertime


Backup traffic, static on the radio
Where'd we go, power line entwined

Made me miss the punchline
Really fine


Whoa, whoa, whoa
It's all right in the city
Even at night, it's kind of pretty

Even though it's a little dirty
It's all right in the city


If you know where to go
If you know where to go


Love on the street in the city
Summertime heat in the city
Basically great in the city

Little bit of hate, what a pity

You can make a fight

If you really make it tonight
If you really make it all right


Bass box, sweat box
Playing hard rock
Anywhere, who cares

Long as you got the feeling there
Long as you got the feeling there
It is, I said, city folk whiz kids

All right

Six flat, fast tracks

Screaming down the quarter mile
If you go to see the show


Whoa, whoa, whoa
It's all right in the city
Even at night, it's kind of pretty

Even though it's a little dirty
It's all right in the city


If you know where to go
If you know where to go
