My City Blues by Demian Bell and Gary Nelson
On the day I was born
The devil came to me
And he looked me straight in the eye
And told me how it would be
Life wouldn’t be easy
No chicken run
No happy life on the farm
No simple fun
Oh I miss my city blues
No I can’t slow down
Girl you took me away
From life in the fast lane
To suburban life
Where grey is the color of pain
Now you know that I love you
Can’t change that
It’s a simple feeling
A matter of fact
Oh I miss my city blues
No I can’t slow down
You know I’m leaving
I’m going downtown
No way to get to you
You know I can’t slow down
