Bobby Bare - Cold And Lonely City lyrics

Big, old, cold and lonely city Once I've thought you're pretty But now you're not pretty anymore Your tall buildings, flashing neon signs Captured every dream of mine And I came knocking on your heartless door. I had visions of success Planned my wealth and happiness Can't we safely say I've been a fool Like a fool I thought you had a heart You tore my thoughts and dreams apart Oh, cold and lonely city you've been cruel. I fell in love, you watched me fall I married in your City Hall Couldn't hold your city girl That wanted your big city world. My best was just not good enough I must admit you were too much Concrete hearts are hard and cold as ice Now I'm a going back where I should be To mom and dad 'cause they love me You cold and lonely city, it's been nice...
