Tell you about those city boys – they got it made Never work out in the sun – always in the shade Tell you about those Country boys – they got it good Not a worry in the world – don’t know if they could Country boy at the races – bets his horse to win City boy at the races – he bets just to spend I saw a bird in the city – pecking at the street I saw a bird in the country – she sang so sweet
One wishes that they were the other - the other just the same One life so exciting - the other just so tame If I was a country boy - I’d wish for the city lights If I was a City boy - I’d wish for a quiet night
Country boy on a train – keeps his eyes outside City boy on that train – reads a paper his whole ride Saw a friend in the city – he kept going on his way Saw a friend in the country – we talked away the day
One wishes that they were the other - the other just the same One life so exciting - the other just so tame If I was a country boy - I’d wish for the city lights If I was a city boy - I’d wish for a quiet night
