Well I was born and raised in the country
I got a tasted of the city life too
But my maw and paw they didn't told me
Son the city made a fool of you
But I'm going to the city
I'm going back to the city
I'm going back to the city
Where they honky tonk all night
I don't mind day-time in the country
But at night I'm gonna be in town
'Cause the nights get me lonesome in the country
Just ain't enough fun around
So I'm going to the city
I'm going back to the city
I'm going back to the city
Where they honky tonk all night
Well I met a little gal in the city
You know she ain't just'a hand me down
But when my paw found out he done told me
Son the city gal's will mess you around.
But I'm going to the city
I'm going back to the city
I'm going back to the city
Where they honky tonk all night
Well there's a lot of good music in the city
You know they dance with a wiggle and a shake.
And I feel like if I don't get with it
Well all my little bones are gonna break
So I'm going to the city
I'm going back to the city
I'm going back to the city
Where they honky tonk all night
