you're moving much too fast
You better slow down and come around
Cos you're burning like a match
You're too up , you're too high
And someone's gonna bring you down
Cos you're too young to die
Get your feet back on the ground
Oh, oh, oh, don't you know,
city living's getting me down
I want to be free, like the trees,
and live in some country town
I want to pick up a wife, pick up my life,
that's the last you'll see of me
I've got a girl, oh what a girl
I'm a little too thin, we make love
She can't find me in the bed
And when I go for a stroll
And I come back feeling low
And she rolls me over slow
Oh, oh, oh, don't you know,
city living's getting me down
I want to be free, like the trees,
and live in some country town
I want to pick up a wife, pick up a life,
And then it's hello, sun,
that's the last you'll see of me
I really wish, to my soul,
you could make love to the trees
Take off your clothes and get down,
start naked like you used to be
Forget your cares, forget your fears,
and leave your worries all behind
And forget about your time
Oh, oh, oh, don't you know
City living's getting me down
I want to be free like the trees
And live in some country town
I want to pick up a wife, pick up my life
That's the last you'll see of me
Oh, oh, oh, don't you know
City living's getting me down
I want to be free like the trees
And live in some country town
I want to pick up a wife, pick up my life
And then it's hallowed sand
That's the last you'll see of me
