Lyrics B.J. Thomas

B.J. Thomas

City Boys

City boys singing country songs

And they tell you what they've seen

City boys singing country songs

But they don't know what they mean

How can a boy from Philly tell ya

How it feels it feels to be in the arms

Of an Oklahoma girl

And how can a New Yorker born and raised

Taste the taste of the popcorn

In an Indiana drive-in movie

City boys wearing western blue jeans

Walking down the streets

Snap down shirt

And cowboy boots

Just a shining on their feet

What good will blue jeans do ya

If you ain't gonna roll around

In the Mississippi mud awhile

And how will the boots come in that handy

If the dandy don't wanna walk across an Iowa cornfield

On a Sunday morning

City boys singing country songs

And they tell you what they've seen

City boys singing country songs

But they don't know what they mean

Now how can a boy from Philly tell ya

How it feels it feels to be in the arms

Of an Oklahoma girl

And how can a New Yorker born and raised

Taste the taste of the popcorn

In an Indiana drive-in movie
