Patti Scialfa - City Boys Lyrics
My Auntie Mabel1953Left her Minnesota dirt farm to see what she could seein a letter to her mother telling her what she enjoyedsaid there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boy1987Took Daddy's CadillacI drove it to Chicago, never brought it backWell all these years later, I'm still unemployedOh well there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boyMy granddaddy had long grey hairsilver cane and a rocking chairtapped that cane on a wooden floorsaying "take what you're given, and then ask for more"Well now, baby, what do you think of thatCan you make a woman out of an alley catCan you take the agitation and not get annoyedOh well there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boyNow my Auntie Mabel, she plays the dominoesway down South where the yucca plant growsdrinking whiskey out of Coca-Cola bottles, smoking ViceroysStill swears there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boyThose city boys
