Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - City Girls [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Hollywood ain't calling for me
And it don't look like she's falling for me
Well, city girls and me ain't meant to be
I got caught sippin' moonshine, from a mayonnaise jar
And now, moonlight hits a squad car
I got a head full of bootleg, a gut full of butterflies
A ringing in my ears, and a sting in my eye
Well the city took away my girl today
For the lights and the money
She said "Well that's the showbiz honey."

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

So now she's leaving for California
Riding them silver wings, all perfumed up
And saying pretty things
So live and learn, let me burn, and I'll admit when I'm beat
If I'm an angry young man, Well lord weren't you sweet
I was working on my looks, Reading all her books
And doing 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
Well, city girls and me...

Red rover, red rover
Won't you send her on back over
I think I know what drove her away

So come on whiskey sour
Come around and lay me low
She's spending 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
Well, city girls and me...(Repeat)
