When the sun came up this morning, it found me eastward bound,
I've finally taken all I can of this city life I've found;
So I'm heading back to places that I couldn't wait to leave,
'Cause city life's no kind of life for a down east boy like me.
I've traveled west to Edmonton, been south to New Orleans,
And the folks back home would not believe some places I have seen;
I spent some time in Montreal, out alone there on the street,
'Cause city life's no kind of life for a down east boy like me.
I need to feel the green grass growing underneath my feet,
I need to watch the sunset as I walk along the beach;
I need to feel the morning breeze when it blows in from the sea,
'Cause city life's no kind of life for a down east boy like me.
When the sun goes down on my home town, I'll be only miles away,
I swear this time when I get back, that's where I'm going to stay;
Tomorrow you will find me in my home down by the sea,
'Cause city life's no kind of life for a down east boy like me.
I need to feel the green grass growing underneath my feet,
I need to watch the sunset as I walk along the beach;
I need to feel the morning breeze when it blows in from the sea,
'Cause city life's no kind of life for a down east boy like me.
'Cause city lights they shine too bright for a down east boy like me.
