Cold and Lonely City

Cold and Lonely City Bobby Bare

Big old cold and lonely city

Once I've thought you're pretty

But now you're not pretty anymore

Your tall buildings

Flashing neon signs

Captured every dream of mine

And I came knocking on your heartless door

I had visions of success

Planned my wealth and happiness

Can't we safely say I've been a fool

Like a fool I thought you had a heart

You tore my thoughts and dreams apart

Oh cold and lonely city you've been cruel

I fell in love

You watched me fall

I married in your city hall

Couldn't hold your city girl

That wanted your big city world

My best was just not good enough

I must admit you were too much

Concrete hearts are hard and cold as ice

Now I'm a going back where I should be

To mom and dad 'cause they love me

You cold and lonely city

It's been nice
