City Thing Lyrics - Singles - Sunny Cowgirls

Well on the day that I left school 

I thought that I'd be pretty cool 

And I'd move up to the city for awhile 

So I'm sitting in this cafe 

with a coffee I mean latte 

And the rotten waitress wouldn't even smile 

Well all the girls round here 

they're not into drinking beer 

they're into sipping cocktails all the time 

they don't get on the rum 

they're not into having fun 

or they'd rather sit at home and poor a wine 

City Slicking life ain't what it's cracked up to be 

I'd better ring mum and tell her to put some stubbies on ice for me 

'cause I'm heading 

home to the country 

where the roads are dry and dusty 

where flanelet and blue jeans are the trend 

where there's lots of parking spaces 

and nothing but friendly faces 

And I'll never do the city thing again 

All the blokes round here 

they look at me and sneer 

and they stare at the akubra on my head 

with all that product in their hair 

and their fancy underwear 

you'd think that they'd be into blokes instead 

City Slicking life ain't what it's cracked up to be 

I'd better ring mum and tell her to put some blokes on hold for me 

'Cause I'm heading 

home to the country 

where the roads are dry and dusty 

where flanelet and blue jeans are the trend 

where there's lots of parking spaces 

and nothing but friendly faces 

And I'll never do the city thing again 

Guess I missed the city calling 

and the food they serve's appalling 

well I'll hang out at my local pub instead 

where no one give you hassles 

you can win a cold chook raffle 

and at least the bar maids there can pull a head 

City Slicking life ain't what it's cracked up to be 

I'd better ring mum and tell her to put a lamb roast on for tea 

'Cause I'm heading 

home to the country 

where the roads are dry and dusty 

where flanelet and blue jeans are the trend 

where there's lots of parking spaces 

and nothing but friendly faces 

And I'll never do the city thing again
