A Toast to Those Who Are Gone

City Boy lyrics

G

C
Born and bred
Am D
It's a city life I've led
G Em

C Cm

G D

Where the grass was made of steel
I've never plowed a field
Until the pavement starts to peel
I'll be a city boy

I'm just a city boy
Born and grown
That's all I've ever known
Where the lights would greet the dawn
There's a factory for a farm
Sure the city has its charm
When you're a city boy
