Lyrics
Goin' to the city
Got you on my mind
Country sure is pretty
I'll leave it all behind
This is my decision
I'm comin' home to stay this time
'Cause I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
Fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
Breathin' all the clean air
Sittin' in the sun
When I get my train fare
I'll get up and run
I'm ready for the city
Air pollution here I come
'Cause I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm like a fish out of water
I'm just a man in a hole
The city lights turn my blues into gold
I ain't no country boy
I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit
Just as fast as I can
Woo
I'm tired of layin' back
Hangin' around
I'm gonna catch that train
Then I'll be city bound
I ain't no country boy
I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit
Just as fast as I can
I'll get off on Main Street
Step into the crowd
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah
Traffic's good and loud
When I see my inner city child
I'll be walkin' on a cloud
'Cause I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool
(Fool for the city)
A fool for the city
(Fool for the city)
I'm a fool
(Fool for the city)
A fool for the city
(Fool for the city)
I'm a fool
(Fool for the city)
A crazy fool
(Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, yeah
(Fool for the city)
A fool for the city
(Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
I ain't no country boy
(Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
Woo!
(Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
A fool for the city
(Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
Woo, woo, woo, woo!
(Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
