Fool For The City Lyrics
Goin' to the city, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time.
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun,
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run.
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come!
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
I'm like a fish out of water, I'm just a man in a hole.
The city lights turn my blues into gold.
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man.
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.
I'm tired of layin' back, hangin' around,
I'm gonna catch that train, then I'll be city bound.
{Rod - Solo}
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man.
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.
I'll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd,
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud.
When I see my inner city child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud.
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city...
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A crazy fool, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool yea, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
I ain't no country boy, woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
A Fool for the city (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Whoo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city) ...
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time.
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run.
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come!
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
The city lights turn my blues into gold.
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man.
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.
I'm gonna catch that train, then I'll be city bound.
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud.
When I see my inner city child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud.
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city...
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A crazy fool, (Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
I ain't no country boy, woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
A Fool for the city (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Whoo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city) ...

I can't believe this song only has two comments. It's one of the catchiest songs that I know. This song makes me want to just rock out. It puts you in a happy mood. The guitar is awesome! By far my favorite foghat song. I would not trade the city for anything. Sure it's nice to get out in the country every once in a while but the city is where I belong. Find your inner city child :)
I think the guitar solo has to be in the top 3 of all time. I can play it in a loop for hours and never get tired of hearing it.
This killer track is about a city boy singing about the great things in the city!
This song is about a guy who really likes the city.
The country is fine; don't get him wrong, it's very nice.
But he really likes the city.
Great song, especially while driving, lookin for a good time.
Is it me or does this almost sound like Brad Delp, the lead vocalist(rip) from Boston?
Yeah, I thought about that same thing too. I think it sort of sounds like Bradley.
