City Ways - Johnny Rivers

City ways are gonna get you, baby

City ways is gonna small 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 hustling

Just to get an extra dollar or two

When you think that is your turn to have it

Someone’s gonna step on you

You know they’re gonna step on you

And it’s hard

A country life is all I’ve ever known, now

Yeah, it’s hard

City life, girl, is bringing me down

It’s dragging me down

Yeah, yeah

When you get to the end of your road, now

You’re about to lose your lies talked warm

Just hang on that last moment

When you get it by the door

Lock up the door

Take me back to the real thing, baby

You know this place ain’t right to me

Keep me out this hard, tight city

Take me back where I can re-breathe

You know I just wanna be free

Yeah, yeah
