City Boy Song (Leo McFadden) 

On some idle weekday,
just moochin’ around,
‘cause I felt life was leaving without me…
She walked by my window
and I started to fall,
for a sweet-hearted girl, from the country.

Well she taught me to listen,
she taught me new songs,
she opened my eyes to the small things.
And I thought to let go of
what I’d sought for so long,
for what good is a dream without love?

Though I wish things were different,
I know there’s no wayour
worlds are light years apart.
Even though I did hope
it might work at the start,
I knew that I just couldn’t stay!

Not the time nor the place
for a heartfelt embrace…
Just this city boy’s song.
And some day when I’m old
and my story’s been told-
I’ll remember her smile!

In the country the stars shine out bright in the sky,
but here they’re much harder to see.
We’ve obscured them with too many lights of our own,
so you never know what’s meant to be.

Though I wish things were different,
I know there’s no way our
worlds are light years apart.
Even though I did hope
it might work at the start,
I knew that I just couldn’t stay!

Not the time nor the place
for a heartfelt embrace…
Just this city boy’s song.
And some day when I’m old
and my story’s been told-
I’ll remember her smile!
