CITY MAN

You’ve got your orders:
You’ve got to make sure all those near you.
Hear you, love you.
You take your orders:
You’ve got a stake in all those cowboys.
City man. City man. City man.

You’ ve got your deadlines:
You’ve got to make sure you can keep them,
Meet them, beat them.
You make the headlines:
You’ve got to make sure you can deal them.
City man. City man. City man.

Ref:
Long time in the city,
You know you’ll be a city man.
You’re a man with no identity,
But you have to make a stand.
Take away the trimmings
You’ll find you’re not so grand.
Been too long in the city,
City man. City man.

You’ve got your lifestyle:
You’ve got to find out who your friends are,
What the trends are.
Yeah, what a lifestyle,
You’re just a nameless, faceless cowboy.
City man. City man. City man.
