City Boys - Patti Scialfa[00:00:00]
My auntie mabel[00:00:12]
1953[00:00:14]
Left her minnesota dirt farm[00:00:16]
See what she could see[00:00:18]
In a letter to her mother[00:00:19]
Telling her what[00:00:22]
She enjoyed[00:00:23]
Said there's nothing in[00:00:27]
Whole wide world[00:00:28]
Like a city boy[00:00:31]
1987[00:00:36]
Took daddy's cadillac[00:00:38]
I drove it to Chicago[00:00:40]
Never brought it back[00:00:42]
Well all these years later[00:00:44]
I'm still unemployed[00:00:46]
Oh well there's nothing[00:00:51]
In the whole wide world[00:00:53]
Like a city boy[00:00:55]
My granddaddy[00:01:00]
Had long grey hair[00:01:02]
Silver cane and[00:01:04]
A rocking chair[00:01:06]
Tapped that cane[00:01:08]
On a wooden floor[00:01:10]
Saying take what you're given[00:01:12]
And then ask for more[00:01:14]
Well I am baby[00:01:16]
What do you think no that[00:01:18]
Can you make a woman[00:01:20]
Out of an alley cat[00:01:22]
Can you take the agitation[00:01:24]
And not get annoyed[00:01:27]
Oh well there's nothing[00:01:31]
In the whole wide world[00:01:33]
Like a city boy[00:01:36]
Now my auntie mabel[00:01:49]
She plays the dominoes[00:01:50]
Way down south[00:01:53]
Where the yucca plant grows[00:01:54]
Drinking whiskey out of coca cola[00:01:56]
Bottles smoking viceroys[00:01:59]
Still swears there's nothing[00:02:03]
In the whole wide world[00:02:05]
Like a city boy[00:02:08]
Still swears there's nothing[00:02:12]
In the whole wide world[00:02:13]
Like a city boy[00:02:16]
Those city boys[00:02:20]
Those city boys[00:02:23]
Those city boys[00:02:27]
