SUBURBILLY I didn't learn my lessons in the back of a truck Never had the good fortune of having bad luck I can't sing the blues. I've never felt them really I'm not from the hills. I'm a suburbilly I wasn't born on the bayou Not even a small town in Ohio I grew up in a town where no one rents A chain link mind needs a chain link fence I've never been the porch swing sort I grew up near an airport I heard folks everywhere are the same So once I tried moving to Maine It felt like home to me but I was alone There's no use being a weed among the homegrown So I moved to a city where I could feel A pulse of life that smacked of the real But all the gals and all the fellers I met were former suburban dwellers Might as well have all stayed put and met our neighbors Well you can be inert or you can take a chance Letras de cancionesBut you can't change your history 'less you do it in advance My hometown bruised me like a banana And there's no un-bruising fruit even in Montana I wasn't born in a hollow Nor partly raised in Colorado I never learned to play the jug I don't chew leaf and I don't chew plug The sound of a frog on a water lily gets drowned by the sound of a Hee-Haw billy Well you can move to Chicago and meet people just like you There'll be a new Chicago in a year or two In a couple of years we'll be packing our bags for Boise But Jersey hasn't left this boy since he left Jersey From Letras Mania
