City Home

Tell Me Something: The Songs Of Mose Allison
City Home
I'm thinkin' 'bout a place
I'm waitin' for the day
When I will make my getaway
Because as any fool can see
There's nothin' here for me but
Hurry up boy bring that water
Don't do things you shouldn't oughta

But when I go away
And find my easy street
I'll have a smile for all I meet
And they will welcome me I know
Everywhere I go
No more thinkin' that I've missed it
How can anyone resist it
And there's a chance
That I will find my big romance
When I get to my city home

But when I go away
And find my easy street
I'll have a smile for all I meet
And they will welcome me I know
Everywhere I go
I'll see the town in all it's glitter
Now could anyone be bitter
And there's a chance
That I will find my big romance
When I get to my city home
