[Verse 1]
People in my hometown don't think like me
It's so funny, they cannot see any good in me
The girls in my hometown won't go with me
Because they don't want my lovin' heart
They want security

[Chorus]
I say, "Hey, hey, hey
Good life city, I'm on my way
Hey, hey, hey
Good life city, I'm on my way"

[Verse 2]
My family in my hometown, they hate to see
Their good image turning to shame in their community
Hey people, listen to me
This is the day that I put on my travelling shoes
And go, go, go the other way

[Chorus]
I say, "Hey, hey, hey
Good life city, I'm on my way
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Good life city, I'm on my way"
I say, "Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Good life city, I'm on my way
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Good life city, I'm on my way
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Good life city, I'm on my way
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Good life city, I'm on my way"
I say, "Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Good life city, I'm on—"
