Lyrics for City Lights

Believe I'll go down to the city Where the neon lights all shine so bright and pretty Where the night time girls are always laughing Movie stars are autographing there There's so much that I want to see Buy myself a store-bought suit and a Stetson and a big fur coat So the winter never gets in Take myself down to the station Ask the girl for information about my trip for NYC Got to see the empire's tallest building Where the plane shot that big monkey And they killed him But I'm a fool to go on wishing Might as well go on with my fishing Oh Lord, I wish I was free City lights keep calling me Telling me to leave my country home Leave my home
