Lyrics - In The City Lights
by Joe Peck

Livin' in the city the lights are awful pretty at night
Frostin' up the avenue, glittering in every hue so bright
Neon paintings in the sky
Billboards paint each passerby
Rainbow colors cry in every shop
But as lovely as they are
They won't ever be the par
Of one sweet whispering star from a mountaintop

I'm a country boy in the city lights
Where the stars above that I used to love disappear
I'm a country boy on the city streets
Walkin' mile on mile down each asphalt aisle makes it crystal clear
I'm a country boy

Strollin' the boulevard, every window barred, locked tight
Neighbors on a walk got no time to talk but, hey, that's all right
Cause we've all someplace to be
Among high society
Makin' sure the in crowd see that we're still hot
But I miss the old beer shack
Everybody hangin' slack
Playin' pool and talkin' smack with a shaggy lot

I'm a country boy in the city lights
Where the stars above that I used to love disappear
I'm a country boy on the city streets
Walkin' mile on mile down each asphalt aisle makes it crystal clear
I'm a country boy

I've got a highrise home in a high-tech zone
Armani suits, designer boots
On the best-dressed list, makin' money hand over fist
Yeah, I've got custom bling and some private wings
Ferrari to run and a Wrangler for fun
But as awesome as it feels
There's just one catch to this whole deal

I'm a country boy in the city lights
Where the stars above that I used to love disappear
I'm a country boy on the city streets
Walkin' mile on mile down each asphalt aisle makes it crystal clear
I'm a country boy
I'm a country boy
Oh, a country boy in the city lights
