City People, City Things - Josh Rouse

City people and these city things

Window shopping and the noisy trains

It’s all fine, just dropped by

To check in on this city

Left my family for a city dream

Waiting tables just to make ends meet

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Starry-eyed from a small-town boy

And when friends call

It’s always nice to go out

And there’s something telling me I might belong

I might belong

New York City got the best of me

Losing money, and I get no sleep

Lonely nights, apartment life

In the city, what a pity

Another year and I’ll be on my feet

A new apartment down on Bleecker Street

I’ll socialize, philosophize

Living pretty in the city

And when friends call

It’s always nice to go out

And there’s something telling me I might belong

I might belong

When I feel like I can’t take any more

There’s a downtown train to carry me home

Carry me home

Sometimes friends call

It’s always nice to go out

And I’m kind of happy, kind of sad

Finally unpacked my bags

Something’s telling me I’ve found a home

Where I belong

It’s where I belong

With city people and these city things
