City People, City Things

City people and these city things
Window shopping and the noisy trains
It’s all fine, just dropped by
To check in on this city
Left my family for a city dream
Waiting tables just to make ends meet
Is this the way it’s supposed to be?
Starry-eyed from a small-town boy
And when friends call
It’s always nice to go out
And there’s something telling me I might belong
I might belong
New York City got the best of me
Losing money, and I get no sleep
Lonely nights, apartment life
In the city, what a pity
Another year and I’ll be on my feet
A new apartment down on Bleecker Street
I’ll socialize, philosophize
Living pretty in the city
And when friends call
It’s always nice to go out
And there’s something telling me I might belong
I might belong
When I feel like I can’t take any more
There’s a downtown train to carry me home
Carry me home
Sometimes friends call
It’s always nice to go out
And I’m kind of happy, kind of sad
Finally unpacked my bags
Something’s telling me I’ve found a home
Where I belong
It’s where I belong
With city people and these city things
