Track #10 City Blues

It’s a high wire without a net
Life in the city with the time clock clickity
And days end never comes near
When you’ve got to shake the city blues

It’s a rat race, where’s all the cheese?
Seems such a pitty grind you down to the nitty gritty
Bone dry your out of luck
‘Cause you’ve got a case of city blues

That old boss, man breathing down your neck
You know it’s just about enough to drive you to drinking
Just don’t sit around when you’re feeling down
Let me tell you exactly what I’m thinking

You take one hop skip and a jump
Pack up your troubles in your old black jalopy
Take two bills, spend every buck
‘Cause that’s how to lose the city blues

That old boss man, breathing down your neck
You know it’s just about enough to drive you to drinking
Just don’t sit around when your feeling down
Let me tell you exactly what I’m thinking

It’s a bad rap in the big house
Chain gang from nine to five so make a break and play it wise
Let wild winds play in your hair
When you’ve finally slip the city blues

Come on don’t be a sucker brother ‘cause
You may not get another one
So get your walking papers
Before your pulling capers
You better get yourself a train a
Boat or a cab

Start playing hooky like a kid out’ta school
Let the dust fly devil may care
Cause you got to blow the city blues

So take my advise, it’s a steal
Call up your pretty kitty skip the town ‘for you get wiggy
Warm sands are calling you name
‘cause that’s where there ain’t no city blues
The promised land is calling you
You better leave tomorrow
I’m talking to you ‘bout those old city blues
