City Slicker

City Slicker
Written byJames Young & Steven A. Jones
Lead Vocals by James Young

Everybody's talking 'bout movin' to the country
Leave that dirty city life behind
Everybody's crazy if they think that the country's
Gonna give me any peace of mind
Backstreet, heartbeat, asphalt & concrete
Give me all the things that I know & love
Skyline looks fine stimulation for my mind
Every single livin' city minute's a show

I'm just a City Slicker
Do you get the picture?
I'm a City Slicker
I'm a Nitroglycerine Mixture

Everybody's talking 'bout moving to the city
Leave that lazy country life behind
Everybody's waling out sure seems funny
Tryin' to get that urban state of mind
I'm high strung low slung priority one is make a ton of money go buy myself a brand new car
Big sound's midtown time to put the pedal down
Better get ready cuase I'm supercharged

And just a City Slicker
Do you get the picture?
I'm a City Slicker
I'm a Nitroglycerine Mixture

Food...when you want it
Fun...when you need
Love...when you can't live without it
Everything, Anything

I'm a City Slicker
I'm a Permanent Fixture
