Frankie Laine
City Boy
[Intro]
Hey there, city boy, feel like travelin'?
I'm headin' west, that's where I'm headin'!

[Verse 1]
Stage goin' west, hey, city boy
All aboard
Shake your pa's hand, tell your ma not to cry
You're safe in the hands of the Lord

[Verse 2]
Stage goin' west, hey, city boy
Look out there
Fill your eyes up with space, it's all over the place
The sky stretches out everywhere

[Bridge]
Though your ma would say it's wrong
Find a lonesome little missy
Western nights are cold and long
Find a gal who's warm and kissy
Yeah, come on hoss, get it goin'

[Verse 3]
Stage goin' west, hey, city boy
There you go
Keep your eye on your star and you're bound to go far
As far as your dreams can go
[Bridge]
Westerners are mean and rough
Better grit your teeth for practice
Better get yourself so tough
You can eat a bowl of cactus
Yeah, come on hoss, move!

[Verse 3]
Stage goin' west, hey, city boy
Here you go
Keep your eye on your star and you're bound to go far
As far as your dreams can go

[Outro]
In the land of westward ho
Yeah, how do you like it, city boy?
I like it fine!
