Goin' to the city, got you on my mind
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind
This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city

Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the Sun
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city

I'm like a fish out of water, I'm just a man in a hole
The city lights turn my blues into gold
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can

I'm tired of layin' back, hangin' around
I'm gonna catch that train, then I'll be city bound

I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can

I'll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud
When I see my inner city child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool (fool for the city), a fool for the city (fool for the city)
I'm a fool (fool for the city), a crazy fool (fool for the city)

I'm a fool yeah (fool for the city), a fool for the city (fool for the city)
Fool for the city
I ain't no country boy, woo! (Fool for the city)
Woo! (Fool for the city)
A fool for the city (fool for the city)
Whoo! (Fool for the city)
