City Boy Country Born Lyrics - Singles - Henson Cargill

I look out on the grave of New York City 

And to see some children playing in the snow 

Central Park in winter should look pretty 

But New York ain't a place for kids to grow 

And my mem'ry takes me back again to winters that I've seen 

Fields and wooden hills where snow could fall and keep its clean 

Where I'd awaken to the wonder of the Oklahoma morn 

City boy city boy country born 

And I saw the garbage's scours plaugh up the river 

Filled with things New Yorkers throw away 

And I watch the skinny dippin' children and I shiver 

The Hudson River ain't no place to play 

And my mem'ry takes me back again to rivers that I've seen 

Lazy country rivers that just flow and feed the green 

You can fish 'em you can swim 'em you can drink 'em when you're warm 

City boy city boy country born 

And I watch the hard eyed New York City mothers 

As they hurry home across the Brooklin Bridge 

To feed their children dixy cups of insatant coffee 

And a frozen TV dinners fom the fridge 

And my mem'ry takes me back again to dinners that I've seen 

Home cured crisped bacon buttered corn and country beans 

And a cup of mama's coffee cooking stoves that kept me warm 

City boy city boy country born
