Lyrics
I'm Just a Poor Old City Boy
By John Matthews
Chorus
I'm just a poor old city boy
I don't know what to do
I'm just a poor old city boy
I don't know what to do
Verse 1
I go to work and everything is alright
Then someone gets me mad
I feel like punching them right out
I know they'll fire me
Chorus
Verse 2
I go to school and practiced hard
I played the notes right at home
I get to class and mess it up
Everything is wrong
Chorus
Bridge
This world seems to bother me
I don't know what to do
I have to call my doctor up
To help through (repeat)
Chorus
