Lyrics

[Intro] Fireflies 'n' dogfights Runnin' hot in the heat Street noise, another bribe Things too hard to believe, so head out [Verse 1] My heart's in the country My feet's in the city with you All my friends are eatin' sushi Talking bad about you know who, who, who [Verse 2] My tongue's talkin' riddles But I just can't seem to find a clue So I take a swig of whiskey Jump into the saddle with you, you, you [Chorus] And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues Hey, I got the city boy blues And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues [Verse 3] Cats in the alley Rats in my snakeskin boots All my neighbors think I'm crazy And my girl thinks I'm losing my cool, cool, cool [Chorus] And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the city boy blues Well, I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues [Bridge] Don't look to Jesus to change your seasons It's the American dream Souls of gypsies, roads of stone Can't seem to find no peace, so head out [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the blues, I got the blues I got the city boy blues And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues [Outro] And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the city boy blues Got the blues, got the blues Hey, I said I got the blues
