Big Apple

I grew tired of those Montana mountains was ready to give up that life for good So I packed up my kit and kaboodle and headed off to a new neighborhood They loaded me onto this cattle car went flying faster’n poop through a goose. Then we skidded down in New York City the place that is famous for their big fruit That place was supposed to be all fast paced I could hardly wait to see all the sights But after three hours in the taxi hadn’t found the place I was staying the night As I was riding in that yellow car the man said unemployment was real high I was pretty sure he was joshen’ me there‘s ‘help wanted’ at each place we went by If there’s one thing I learned about that trip if I should again get the itch to roam I’ll just tuck my money into my mattress cause it’s best to just keep my butt at home

Big cities hold no appeal for me anymore.
