[Verse 1] Born in a trailer where the wind sang low The bastard of a man I'd never know Cicadas screamed but I dreamed so loud Prayin' Someday to make my mama proud [Prechorus] I’ll trade these dirt roads for neon glow Become a star with a name everyone will know [Chorus] I’m a city boy now With a small-town soul Playin' in the big league Makin' Diamonds from coal I’m a city boy now I'm payin' the toll Takin' off my clothes As the camera rolls But I'm a city boy now [Verse 2] Learned to two-step on a gravel lot Now I dance at the club in a hot pink jock A nod and a smile and knowing wink This country boy's every man's greatest kink But through the Barstool stories and electric nights I miss the song of crickets in the pale moonlight [Prechorus] I swapped the stars for the spotlight and the neon glow Traded my horse for a Porshe and a view in Weho. But while I'm sippin' champers on the beach in St. Croix I'm always gonna be my mama's little boy [Chorus] I’m a city boy now With a small-town soul Playin' in the big league Makin' Diamonds from coal I’m a city boy now I'm payin' the toll Takin' off my clothes As the camera rolls But I'm a city boy now From the stars to the spotlight From the stars to the spotlight [Chorus] I’m a city boy now With a small-town soul Playin' in the big league Makin' Diamonds from coal I’m a city boy now I'm payin' the toll Takin' off my clothes As the camera rolls But I'm a city boy now From the stars to the spotlight
