The Great City

The Great City - Nancy Wilson

If ever you're restless and feelin' low

Don't think that the city

Is the place to go

Well I'll tell you one thing

Worth thinkin' about

If you come in be sure you

Can get back out

The great city's playboys

They're always around

To help build your hopes up

Then help drag you down

They'll leave you with nothing

Worth singin' about

'Cause when you're in

It's so hard to get back out

The great city cold cruel stone

Ten million people

And each one standin' alone

You're caught in a whirlpool

Of east side cafes

Where life is a cocktail

Of beads and berets

And blues are the main things

You're drinkin' about

'Cause now you're in and now

Now you won't back out

The great city cold cruel stone

Ten million people

And each one standin' alone

You're caught in a whirlpool of east side cafes

Where life is a cocktail of beads and berets

And blues are the main things

You're drinkin' about

'Cause now you're in and now

Now you won't back out

'Cause now you're in and now

Now you won't back out

'Cause now you're in and now

Now you won't back out
