I left my hometown, baby

There'll be big things going down

I done left my hometown, baby

There'll be big things going down

Now in this late afternoon

It ain’t none too soon

 

I hit that big city, baby

The streets be paved with gold

I hit the big city, baby

The streets here, made of gold

I’m standing on my own

Them streets be dirty and cold

 

Here I am in the city

I should've stayed at home

Here I am in the city

And I’m standing alone

What I see ain’t so pretty

Surely turn me to stone.
