Country livin’ really gets me down
So I’m headin’ for the lights of town
Gonna kiss the country life goodbye
I got myself a brand new high

Funky music where the lights are bright
Tell the ladies I’ll be there tonight
It’s a paradise of push and shove
I gotta get back to the streets I love

Don’t try to hide it
It’s been decided
Down in my soul
I’m a city boy, city boy
I tried to fake it
I couldn’t make it
Don’t ya just know
I’m a city boy, city boy
Ooh I got to satisfy it
Take me up town and let me boogie all night long
Ooh I hate the peace and quiet
I wanna yell I wanna shout
I wanna dance ‘til I burn myself out
I gotta be me, I gotta free me
Welcome me home I’m a city boy, city boy
And now I know it, well don’t I show it
Mama take a look at your city boy, city boy
Bring it on home, bring it on home to me
Bring it on home, baby bring it on home

It’s the only place I’ve ever been
Where they never pull the sidewalks in
Life’s a party and you can’t go wrong
‘Cause Saturday night lasts a whole week long

I gotta be me, I gotta free me
Welcome me home I’m a city boy, city boy
And now I know it, well don’t I show it
Mama take a look at your city boy, city boy
Bring it on home, bring it on home to me
Bring it on home, baby bring it on home to me

Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring me back, back to the city
Bring me back, back to the city
Bring me back, back to the city
Bring me back, back to the city
