Goin’ to the City

Sky:
So I’m working 7 days a week I’m saving all my money for the day
We’re going to the city cuz my lady Laila’s got to get away

She’s feeling pretty ill and I want her to get the best help all around
we’re going to the city by tomorrow night we’re gonna leave this town

Gonna go to the city my baby’s she’s a got to get away
Gonna go to the city I’ve been saving all my money for the day

I got myself some new clothes in the city I’d be looking kind of square
I just bought me a new suit black and blue and I cut off my ratty hair

Gonna go to the city looking all sharp like they do
Gonna go to the city If they’re looking like that then we will too
Gonna go to the city my baby’s she’s a got to get away
Gonna go to the city I’ve been saving all my money for the day

We’re gonna see this doctor, Riley J Jones, Hank he says he’s all the rage
He best be as I’m working every day and barely make a slave’s wage
yes I may be skeptical about the modern medical routine
So what if we’re living longer when our lives are run by a machine

Gonna go to the city- the good old days were then and this is now
Gonna go to the city- I don’t seem to have a choice anyhow
Gonna go to the city my baby’s she’s a got to get away
Gonna go to the city I’ve been saving all my money for the day
