Lyrics
City Lights... A country boy hiked into the city on a busy hot summers night. The cars sped by full of people, going to all those places under the lights. The lights they looked so pretty! They almost looked like the stars. He was overtaken with excitement! He had to sing! He pulled out his guitar! "Oh! City lights! You look so good! Oh! City lights! I knew you would! Oh! City lights! You're all around! Oh! City lights! Don't let me down! Don't you let me down! Oh! Oh! Oh!..." Well no one would listen to him. They wanted to throw him in city jail. 'Cause he got so fed up he went crazy and he shot the street lights all to Hell! "Oh! City lights! You look so good! Oh! City lights! I knew you would! Oh! City lights! You let me down! Oh! City lights! I'll shoot you out! You're getting shot out! Oh! Oh! Oh!....."
