David Mcwilliams City Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, my head goes around, 'round and 'round
As I walked around this lonesome town
Not a friendly face here I can see
I wonder if there's something wrong with me

[Chorus]
City blues in my head
City blues that's what I said
I got city blues as you can see
The city blues for me
[Verse 2]
Oh, when I first came to this old town
They took me in, they showed me 'round
Everybody listen to what I said
All the foolish things that come outta my head

[Chorus]
City blues in my head
City blues that's what I said
City blues as you can see
City blues for me

[Verse 3]
But then one day I went on the street
Drank a lotta of wine, took a woman on my knee
And spent all my money in a poker game
Now, nobody wants to know my name

[Chorus] I got city blues in my head
City blues that's what I said
City blues as you can see
The city blues for me

[Verse 4]
Well now, since that day I lost all my loot
I got holes in my pockets and holes in my boots
Ain't got no place to lay my head
Nobody 'round here will give me a bed
[Chorus]
I got city blues in my head
City blues that's what I said
City blues as you can see
The city blues for me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Well, I think I'll go back from where I come
Ah, go back to where I come from
This place here has got nothing for me
There's nothing here to hold me that I can see

[Chorus]
I got the city blues in my head
The city blues that's what I said
I got the city blues as you can see
The city blues for me
