Ochs, Phil - City Boy Lyrics
I'm just a city boy
Born and bred
It's a city life I've led
My pasture was a street
I've never climbed a tree
'Cause I'm a city boy
I'm just a city boy
Born and raised
From these rooftops I have gazed
Where the grass was made of steel
I've never plowed a field
Until the pavement starts to peel
I'll be a city boy
Born and grown
That's all I've ever known
Where the lights would greet the dawn
There's a factory for a farm
Sure the city has its charm
When you're a city boy

Ochs, Phil City Boy Comments
Beautiful Is right
One of his early ones. I didn't know it was on an album. I have it on a cassette.
One of best songs I've ever heard. Beautiful.
Thanks for directing me to your great site! I'm listening to a lot of Phil today, day after 37th anniversary of his death.
This is one of my favorite Phil Ochs' songs. Thanks for posting it.
Catchy song. Up Phil Ochs.
I am a huge fan and this perhaps the most heartbreaking song
visit the phil ochs remembrance site at w w w no more songs dot com and check out my Phil Ochs tribute playlist here "Broadside Balladeer Music"
Phil Ochs is, in my mind, the greatest song writer I have ever experienced. i thank my father everyday for introducing me to this man's songs, as otherwise I never would have heard them. This song, while not one of my favourites, has a sort of stunning simple beauty to it. I can't believe how few know him now. Great upload!
is there anywhere i can hear a toast to those who are gone by phil ochs
@rickymullenmusic Some of them, i like the songs he wrote as Phil
.
There is a lot of songs i haven't hear....
