Fool For The City
(5:28)
Peverett - Knee Trembler Music - ASCAP
(Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Foghat)
Goin' to the city, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time, 'cause I'm a -
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun,
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run,
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come! 'Cause I'm a-
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
I'm like a fish out of water, I'm just a man in a hole,
The city lights turn my blues into gold.
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man,
I've gotta hit the grit just as fast as I can.
I'm tired of layin' back and hangin' around,
I'm gonna catch that train, Whoo! And I'll be city bound, Yeah!
{Rod Solo - verse, chorus}
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man,
I gotta hit the grit just as fast as I can.
I'll get off on Main street, step into the crowd,
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud, whoa,
When I see my Inner City child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud. 'Cause I'm a-
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
I'm a fool, (fool for the city),
A fool for the city, (fool for the city).
I'm a fool, (fool for the city),
Fool for the city, yeah, (fool for the city).
Whoo!

(Alright! You havin' a good time?)
(Alright We're gonna have a good time!)
Thumbin' a ride to Geneva, standin' in the falling rain,
Gettin' dirty looks I wish I coulda' took a train.
Your friends said, "Why did you leave her?" - had to make it on my own,
Now I'm standing on the highway, tryin' to find my way alone.
Well I got my home in my hand, travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.
It's gettin' so hard to remember, even harder to forget,
Well if I don't find a way, how I'm gonna pay my debt?
Well I got my home in my hand, travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.
Woo!
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Slide on!
Well I got my home in my hand, travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.

Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.

Give her the gun, drive like a hurricane.
Speedin' along like a bullet from a gun,
It's a three day ride, gonna make it in one.
The heat's up high, turn the radio on,
Diggin' rock and roll music while we're ridin' along.

Road fever, fire burnin' in my brain,
Give her the gun, drive like a hurricane.
