    "Thank you very much. Well as if you didn't know by now, we are recording this for a live album. So this is a brand new song written by my good friend Mr. Mac McAnally. This is called In The City...hope you enjoy."

    Ahhhhhh
    Ah, ahhhhhh
    Ah, ahhhhhh

    As a child on the farm
    I was warned of the wiles of the city
    Of that demon disguise
    There's the dirt in the skies of the city

    Well they say the proximity warps their minds
    'Til they're shooting one another just pass the time
    And we live it appears
    Both in spite and in fear of the city

    Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah
    Oooohhh

    I was constantly told
    How our lives were controlled by the city
    How they keep us in debt
    With the trends that they set it's a pity

    Now the beautiful people in the magazines
    Got the normal ones living beyond their means
    And the things that they said
    Made me go in my head to the city

    Oooohhh
    Ahhhhhhh
    Ah, ahhhhhh
    Ah, ahhhhhh

    When I finally came
    There's some things still the same in the city
    You still lie under the thumb
    Of the rich and the young and the pretty

    Well they weren't much different than we might act
    If there was that many others that closely packed
    It's an ancient idea
    But it struck me so clear in the city

    Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah
    Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah
    Oooohhh

    Ahhhhhh
    Ah, ahhhhhh
    Ah, ahhhhhh
