City ways are gonna get you baby City haze is gonna smog you in City ways are gonna keep you baby Down in the hollow you're in Down in the hollow you're in Everybody it seems is hustlin' Just to get an extra dollar or two When you think that it's your turn to have it Someone's gonna step on you You know they gonna step on you And it's hard A country life is all I've ever known, now And it's hard City life, girl, is bringin' me down Is dragging me down When you get to the end of your road now And you're 'bout to lose life's tug-a-war Just hang on to that last little moment When you get it, bar the door, lock up the door Take me back to the real thing babe You know this place ain't right for me Get me out of this hard, tight city Take me back where I can re-breathe You know I just wanna be free Yeah, yeah
