FOOL FOR THE CITY
Goin' to the city, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time.

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.

Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun,
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run.
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come!

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.

I'm like a fish out of water, I'm just a man in a hole.
The city lights turn my blues into gold.
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man.
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.

I'm tired of layin' back, hangin' around,
I'm gonna catch that train, then I'll be city bound.

I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man.
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.

I'll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd,
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud.
When I see my inner city child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud.

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city...
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A crazy fool, (Fool for the city)

I'm a fool yea, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
I ain't no country boy, woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
A Fool for the city (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)

Whoo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)...

MY BABE

She makes me feel so good, just like a young man should,
She never make me cry, that's why, she's my babe, she's my babe.

Nothin' could be better than to see her in a sweater
and a real tight skirt, that don't fit,

Yeah, drive me 'ome, come on!

Well it's midnight, I feel alright, I'm as high as a Georgia pine,
Tell all the world, 'bout that little girl of mine.

But I cheated, I mistreated, lied with a heart of stone,
Now I need somebody, to drive this bad boy home.

Drive me home, drive me home,
I can't make it on my own, drive me home,
Baby won't you drive me home. Whoo!

I feel hazy and it's crazy, forgot everything, I know,
Before I leave, give me one more for the road.

All the sad songs and the bad songs the jukebox played tonight,
A little rock and roll will make everything alright.

Drive me home, drive me home,
I can't make it on my own, drive me home,
Baby won't you drive me, honey won't you drive me home.

Drive me home, drive me home,
Can't make it on my own, I'm stoned to the bone,
Baby won't you drive me home.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
Ah yea, whoa, ah yea

Take it or leave it, tell me what you wanna do,
Take it or leave it, now the choice is up to you.
Can't wait until tomorrow, tomorrow may be too late,
Take away the sorrow, I can't wait.

Take it or leave it, can't I make you understand?
If you can believe it, you hold the future in your hand.
If the choice was up to me girl, you would stay by my side,
Our world would be a free world, ain't no lie.

If our love was in vain, who's gonna help me hide the pain,
Lonely days, lonely nights, without you girl, it's just not right.
Oh it's just not right, whoa.

Take it or leave it, I can't wait another day,
I got love if you need it, won't you tell me right away.
Losin' track of all the hours, Hours run into days,
My mind is running out of power, you got me in a haze.

Take it or leave it, take it or leave it,
Got love if you need it, whoa, take it or leave it.
Baby I want to know, I've got to know,
Now if you need my love, tell me right now.
Oh yea, tell me right now, yeah, yea,
Lonely days, lonely nights,

You know baby, it's a- it's just not right.
