I had a good job; I was something in the city
The hustle and bustle kept me busy all day
But when the night time falls, there is no pity
For a man who doesn't fit with the city any way
Lonely nights, alone in the city
Feeling low, knowing there's no pity
No friends or family to comfort me
Lonely nights, alone in the city
I sit alone in my flat, watching night after night
Seeing people passing by and the occasional fight
Wishing I was out there, doing anything at all
Not staring at the telephone, wishing someone would call
I've got to get away from here before I fall apart
I've come to realise that I'm a country boy at heart
The city with its bright lights and people of all kinds
Only makes me hide away, closing all the blinds
I gave up my job, the bright lights and the city
Got no job, no money, but I've saved my sanity
I'm back home where I belong and with people love me
Back home where I belong in the bosom of my family
No more lonely nights, alone in the city
Feeling low, knowing there's no pity
No friends or family to comfort me
Lonely nights, alone in the city
