Living in the country   far away from home,   how I miss those city lights,   yes I'm lost when I'm alone.   Grew up on the sidewalk,   always had a friend,   every day was something new   and the nights would never end.      I can hear you oh calling,   life in the city is calling.   I went away without knowing   changes you put me through.   Calling, life in the city is calling,   calling me back and I'm feeling   like I belong to you.      Living in the country   gave me time to see   traffic jams and neon lights,   baby mean a lot to me.   Bought myself some freedom   but it just don't feel the same   as the crowded streets and subway seats   and the place I got my name.      I can hear you oh calling,   life in the city is calling.   I went away without knowing   changes you put me through.   Calling, life in the city is calling,   calling me back and I'm feeling   like I belong to you.
