lyrics

You can keep your open roads and your blooming red rose
Cuz country living aint gonna do nothing for me
I'm gonna stay in the city, right where I oughta be

Gimme the rusted cars and the late night neon bars
Where the open sign is hanging half lit
I'm gonna keep working on my habits, the ones you say I oughta quit

You say I don't like anything, well I don't like the green of spring
I don't like summer's gentle showers
Don't know what you're after, but I don't like you wasting my precious hours

I don't like these old time ways
See nothing wrong with worthwhile pay
I speak my mind or I got nothing to say

Maybe you think I should be ashamed
Or think its something social to blame
Cuz I'm gonna keep living my way

If I hear one more acoustic guitar, I'm heading straight to the bar
Gonna drink myself up somewhere thats right
Now thats clear and concise, I'm taking my car skidding across the ice

No I don't get much delight, hearing about the stars in the night
Laying in an open field mosquitoes on my chest
I guess I've got to confess, I like my way of living the best
