[Verse 1]
Well, I'm down and I'm out
And I've had it to here with the city life
Gonna grab me a plane
That'll take me back home to my folks
Maybe real soon

[Verse 2]
Just as soon as I get
A few dollars ahead, well, then you'll see
Gonna show up in person
Instead of those letters I never write
How does that sound, ma?

[Verse 3]
You tell dad I got a deal
That's gonna make me a million tomorrow
Yeah, and it's a cinch to come through
If I just hang around for a little while
Just temporarily

[Outro]
City life
Oh, city life
City life
City life
City life, city life
