Louis Jordan - Small Town Boy lyrics

When I was a little boy 'bout 12 years old To go to the city was my goal When I got to be 21 I packed my bags and away I ran When I got to the city I found times was hard I found happiness but only in my backyard For some folks live in cities of this live in town But you can have your city and let it get you down For I was meant to be nothing but a small town boy You can have your city and I'll keep my town I'll stay in my berg and won't get me down For I was meant to be nothing but a small town boy You dance all night and you sleep all day Life to you is like a little childish play You're living this life that you think is so sweet But what you're gonna do when they bury you six feet deep You can have your city and I'll keep my town Stay right on the city, let it get you down But I was meant to be nothing but a small boy You dance all night and you sleep all day Life to you is like a little childish play You're living this life that you think is so sweet But what you're gonna do when they bury you six feet deep
