Roger Clyne - City Girls from Honky Tonk Union

Hollywood ain't calling for me,
and it don't look like she's falling for me.
Them city girls and me ain't meant to be.

Well the corpse hit the moonshine from a mayonaise jar,
and now moonlight hits a sportscar.
I've got a head full of bootleg,
a couple of butterflies,
a ringin' in my ear,
and a sting in my eyes.
Well the city took away my girl today,
for the lights and the money.
She said "well that's the show biz, honey."

And now,
Hollywood ain't calling for me,
and it don't look like she's falling for me.
Them city girls and me ain't meant to be.

So she's leavin' for California,
got them silver wings all perfumed up and wearin' pretty things.
So live and learn,
let me burn,
and I'll admit when I'm beat.
If I'm an angry old man,
then, lord, weren't you sweet.
When I was workin' on my looks, reading all her books,
doin' the best I can to be her biggest fan.
 But now,
Hollywood ain't calling for me,
and it don't look like she's falling for me.
Them city girls and me...
Red rover, red rover,
wontcha send her on back over,
I think I know what drove her away.

(intstumental break)

So come on, whiskey sour,
come around and lay me low.
She's spendin' her nights under city lights,
and I'm sure she ain't alone.

But now,
Hollywood ain't calling for me,
and it don't look like she's falling for me.
Them city girls and me, now,
Hollywood ain't calling for me,
and it don't look like she's falling for me.
Them city girls and me aren't meant to be.
