[Verse 1] Well, I hate this town, hate this place There ain't nothin' to do Except go down to the bar each night And drink ‘til 2 I hate my job I'm always in a bad mood I fear I'm comin' down with a case Of the tall city blues Well, I'm a CPA, I got my B.B.A. from TTU I crunch numbers in a highrise Countin' barrels o' crude Me and my buddies b**h in the breakroom ‘Cause our boss went golfin' this afternoon Left us to fend for ourselves In the tall city blues [Chorus] Tall city dreamin' is a difference In believin' and makin' a livin' Or lovin' what you do Raisin' a family among strangers In wild [?], too Right here by the boon We'll all be strangers soon With tall city blues [Verse 2] This one bedroom apartment Is takin' all my dough Fifteen hundred a month For Venetian blinds and stained concrete floors Lay back in my king size bed Each night where I sleep alone Dreamin' about my next move Outta these tall city blues [Chorus] Tall city dreamin' is a difference In believin' and makin' a livin' Or lovin' what you do Raisin' a family among strangers In wild [?], too Right here by the boon We'll all be strangers soon With tall city blues [Verse 3] Got laid off this morning Did you not hear the news We took too much out of the ground We knew what to do Tonight no one gives a damn Whether your color's white or blue We'll drain our gla**es by the ma**es And make a toast To the tall city blues Let's drain our gla**es by the ma**es And make a toast To the tall city blues Oh [Chorus] Tall city dreamin' is a difference In believin' and makin' a livin' Or lovin' what you do Raisin' a family among strangers In wild [?], too Right here by the boon We'll all be strangers soon With tall city blues We'll all be strangers soon With tall city blues
