[Verse 1]
Well, I hate this town, hate this place
There ain't nothin' to do
Except go down to the bar each night
And drink ‘til 2
I hate my job
I'm always in a bad mood
I fear I'm comin' down with a case
Of the tall city blues
Well, I'm a CPA, I got my B.B.A. from TTU
I crunch numbers in a highrise
Countin' barrels o' crude
Me and my buddies b**h in the breakroom
‘Cause our boss went golfin' this afternoon
Left us to fend for ourselves
In the tall city blues
[Chorus]
Tall city dreamin' is a difference
In believin' and makin' a livin'
Or lovin' what you do
Raisin' a family among strangers
In wild [?], too
Right here by the boon
We'll all be strangers soon
With tall city blues
[Verse 2]
This one bedroom apartment
Is takin' all my dough
Fifteen hundred a month
For Venetian blinds and stained concrete floors
Lay back in my king size bed
Each night where I sleep alone
Dreamin' about my next move
Outta these tall city blues
[Chorus]
Tall city dreamin' is a difference
In believin' and makin' a livin'
Or lovin' what you do
Raisin' a family among strangers
In wild [?], too
Right here by the boon
We'll all be strangers soon
With tall city blues
[Verse 3]
Got laid off this morning
Did you not hear the news
We took too much out of the ground
We knew what to do
Tonight no one gives a damn
Whether your color's white or blue
We'll drain our gla**es by the ma**es
And make a toast
To the tall city blues
Let's drain our gla**es by the ma**es
And make a toast
To the tall city blues
Oh
[Chorus]
Tall city dreamin' is a difference
In believin' and makin' a livin'
Or lovin' what you do
Raisin' a family among strangers
In wild [?], too
Right here by the boon
We'll all be strangers soon
With tall city blues
We'll all be strangers soon
With tall city blues
