City Boys lyrics

My Auntie Mabel 1953 Left her Minnesota dirt farm To see what she could see In a letter to her mother Telling her what she enjoyed Said there's nothing In the whole wide world Like a city boy 1987 Took Daddy's Cadillac I drove it to Chicago Never brought it back Well all these years later I'm still unemployed Oh well there's nothing In the whole wide world Like a city boy My granddaddy Had long grey hair Silver cane And a rocking chair Tapped that cane On a wooden floor Saying "Take what you're given And then ask for more" Well now, baby What do you think of that Can you make a woman Out of an alley cat Can you take the agitation And not get annoyed Oh well there's nothing In the whole wide world Like a city boy Now my Auntie Mabel She plays the dominoes Way down South Where the yucca plant grows Drinking whiskey Out of Coca-Cola bottles Smoking Viceroys Still swears there's nothing In the whole wide world Like a city boy Those city boys
