"City Vs. Country" lyrics
"City Vs. Country"
I want to live close to downtown to be near my friends
I want to be close to them
And still be out by the trees and the wind
Havin' both will be hard to find I'm sure
But then ain't that the way of the world
I want the city but I want the country too
I want to be with my friends by the fire and the starlight
But I want music, music in my life
Yes, I want a bar hoppin' music scene
And I want to pick from ten or fifteen
I want the city but I want the country too
My mind is quiet, when my thoughts are slow
I stop to learn what I been wantin' to know
I need to live in the ancient world
If I'm gonna do what I want to do
I want the city but I want the country too
I'll never have both moon and sun
But one never knows, does one?
I want the city but I want the country too

Tapes on the floor
