lyrics

I used to think the country was awful nice
No more sirens and the city's strife
Then came the winter and my 'o me
I'm out choppin' wood to beat the oil fee

The views and the vistas are everywhere
But the power ain't always there
Cooking my dinner in the fireplace
And melting down some snow to wash my face

CHORUS
I'm going back to the city
I'm going back to the city
I'm going back to the city
Leave the country behind

My place in the city was awful small
But my gal was artsy and tall
I'm going where the women are skinny and smart
I don't even care if they break my heart

The gals in the country are buxom and bold
They never let go once they get a hold
Then you see they momma like a big haystack
I get all nervous and my pony goes slack

CHORUS
