[Verse 1]
Think of London, small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
People sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm checking 'em out, I'm checking 'em out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
We got good points, some bad points
It all works out, y'know I'm a little freaked out
[Chorus]
I'll find a city, find myself a city to live in
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in
[Verse 2]
Down El Paso way, things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north, come back south, y’all
Still got no idea where in the world they are
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm chеcking 'em out, I'm checking 'em out
I got it figurеd out, I got it figured out
We got, huh? Huh?
But it all works out, though I'm a little freaked out
[Chorus]
I'll find a city, find myself a city to live in
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm checking 'em out, I'm checking 'em out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
We got good points, some bad points
It all works out, y;know I'm a little freaked out
[Chorus]
I'll find a city, find myself a city to live in (Woo!)
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in (Hoo!)
[Verse 3]
Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm checking it out, I'm checking it out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
We got
It all works out, y'know I'm a little freaked out
[Chorus]
Find a city, find myself a city to live in (Hoo!)
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in (Woo!)
[Outro]
Find a city, find myself a city to live in (Woof woof! Woah!)
Find a city, find myself a city to live in
Help me find a city, find myself a city to live in
