City Girls

J.J. Cale · Other Songs - J.J. Cale

City girls they're all right

They just want you for the night

But when the morning comes at dawn

City girls they all gone

You know the daylight can be sad

When you feel that you've been had

Only night time brings the price

City girl she thinks it's right

What's a poor boy going to do

If he wants a girl like you

Can't afford no diamond rings

Or all those other fancy things

Only one thing I can give

A song down where you live

I'll sing to you hear the sound

City girl please stay around
