《City Boys》歌词

[00:00:00] City Boys - Patti Scialfa

[00:00:12] My auntie mabel

[00:00:14] 1953

[00:00:16] Left her minnesota dirt farm

[00:00:18] See what she could see

[00:00:19] In a letter to her mother

[00:00:22] Telling her what

[00:00:23] She enjoyed

[00:00:27] Said there's nothing in

[00:00:28] Whole wide world

[00:00:31] Like a city boy

[00:00:36] 1987

[00:00:38] Took daddy's cadillac

[00:00:40] I drove it to Chicago

[00:00:42] Never brought it back

[00:00:44] Well all these years later

[00:00:46] I'm still unemployed

[00:00:51] Oh well there's nothing

[00:00:53] In the whole wide world

[00:00:55] Like a city boy

[00:01:00] My granddaddy

[00:01:02] Had long grey hair

[00:01:04] Silver cane and

[00:01:06] A rocking chair

[00:01:08] Tapped that cane

[00:01:10] On a wooden floor

[00:01:12] Saying take what you're given

[00:01:14] And then ask for more

[00:01:16] Well I am baby

[00:01:18] What do you think no that

[00:01:20] Can you make a woman

[00:01:22] Out of an alley cat

[00:01:24] Can you take the agitation

[00:01:27] And not get annoyed

[00:01:31] Oh well there's nothing

[00:01:33] In the whole wide world

[00:01:36] Like a city boy

[00:01:49] Now my auntie mabel

[00:01:50] She plays the dominoes

[00:01:53] Way down south

[00:01:54] Where the yucca plant grows

[00:01:56] Drinking whiskey out of coca cola

[00:01:59] Bottles smoking viceroys

[00:02:03] Still swears there's nothing

[00:02:05] In the whole wide world

[00:02:08] Like a city boy

[00:02:12] Still swears there's nothing

[00:02:13] In the whole wide world

[00:02:16] Like a city boy

[00:02:20] Those city boys

[00:02:23] Those city boys

[00:02:27] Those city boys
