Lyrics City Ways - Johnny Rivers

City ways are gonna get you, baby
City ways is gonna small you in
City ways are gonna keep you, baby
Down in the hollow you′re in
Down in the hollow you're in
Everybody, it seems, is hustling
Just to get an extra dollar or two
When you think that is your turn to have it
Someone′s gonna step on you
You know they're gonna step on you
And it's hard
A country life is all I′ve ever known, now
Yeah, it′s hard
City life, girl, is bringing me down
It's dragging me down
(Solo) yeah, yeah
When you get to the end of your road, now
You′re about to lose your lies talked warm
Just hang on that last moment
When you get it by the door
Lock up the door
Take me back to the real thing, baby
You know this place ain't right to me
Keep me out this hard tight city
Take me back where I can re-breath
You know I just wanna be free
(Solo) yeah, yeah (and fade) .
