I used to be a simple little country boy
I didn't even know the time of day
But i could see brighter lights in the city at night
I told myself i was going to stay

Big city big city well you ain't quite big enough for me

Well i used to go fishing nearly every day
I used to catch myself a trout or two
But i could see bigger fish in the city at night
Well i should know where i caught myself you

No you're not well i used to have a job but it didn't pay
I told myself that i had to quit
But i walked in that office with a gun in my hand
He said "shoot 'cause i don't give a shit"
