A man wants out of a small town

Verse
I never thought life could be so funny in this town
Everyone so happy without color or sound
What drives the people in this far off land is so strange
So hard to understand

Chorus
I’ve got the small town blues and I’m moving to the city
Small town blues and it ain’t looking pretty
Small town blues, honey find me a way to take this city boy
And cure him of the small town blues today

Verse
It seem so stable I could lose my mind
They’re either straight or they’re abusing every drug they can find
Only one real religion alive in this place
Only one real time and one real race

Chorus
I’ve got the small town blues and I’m moving to the city
Small town blues and it ain’t looking pretty
Small town blues, honey find me a way to take this city boy
And cure him of the small town blues today

Bridge
We’ve got the small town eyes and ears making private life
Daily gossip on the grapevine
Farmer’s daughter’s sleeping around
Coming to church in her Sunday best, Sunday best

Chorus
I’ve got the small town blues and I’m moving to the city
Small town blues and it ain’t looking pretty
Small town blues, honey find me a way to take this city boy
And cure him of the small town blues today
