I've got to change my way of livin'
You know this livin' in the city just ain't no good
I've got to change my way of livin'
You know this livin' in the city just ain't no good
ย
Well, if I only had the money
I'd move out of my neighborhood
ย
I got a lot of bad habits
And that don't help me none
I used to go out for a good time
But now I don't even have no fun
Now, you can have plenty women
And you can have yourself a time
Oh, but after two or three
They'll make you lose your mind
Oh, I got to change my way of livin'
You know this livin' in the city just ain't no good
ย
Well, if I only had the money
Yes, I'd move out of my neighborhood
ย
Now, when you're tryin' to do your business
They're all standin' in a line
Well, especially when you're runnin'
You ain't even got the time
Now, when you want to be alone
There'll be people all around
Oh, but when you're feelin' lonesome
Nobody can be found
I got to change my way of livin'
You know this livin' in the city just ain't no good
ย
Well, if I only had the money
Yes, I'd move out of my neighborhood
Play me some big city blues, Charles, go ahead

Now, when you're drivin' in your car
Well, be careful where you park
'Cause you just might find it gone
If you leave it after dark
Now, when I go to bed at night
I hear gunshots in my sleep
Well, they're sellin' crack cocaine
Up and down my street
I've got to change my way of livin'
Mm, this livin' in the city just ain't no good
ย
Well, if I only had the money
Yes, I'd move out of my neighborhood
ย
Thank you very much, thank you
We're gonna do one I recorded with Willie Smith on the drums on this
It's one off my Heart of Chicago CD called "My Kinda Baby"
