City Ways
James Hendricks
City ways are gonna get you baby
The city haze is gonna smog 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 a-hustlin'
Just to get an extra dollar or two
When you think that it's your turn to have it
Someone gonna step on you
Gonna step on you
And it's a-hard
A country life is all I've ever known
And it's a-hard
This city life is bringin' me down
When you get to the end of your road now
And you're 'bout to lose your life's tug-a-war
Just hang on to that last little moment
When you get it, bar the door, lock up the door
And it's a-hard
A country life is all I've ever known
And it's a-hard
This city life is bringin' me down
Is bringin' me down
Take me back to the sand hills baby
Where the lonely coyote howl
Get me out of this doggone city
Take me back to where I belong
Let me go back home
Let me go back home
I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
