CITY BUG, COUNTRY LIGHTS
©Gary Bowman

I left the country, I was feelin’ smug,
Said farewell to those Lady Bugs
Packed my grip, Took to flight,
Lookin’ for those City Lights

Hi-beams, lo-beams,   it’s    such a  fright
Gotta love those    neon lights
Red lights, black lights, and bug light traps
Watch out! You might get ----- Zapped!

Now, I sure do miss those fireflies,
And how they light the evening skies
Where crickets chirp, ‘neath rising moon,
And the mornin’ comes, baby, all too soon.

Longing for those Country Nights,
I get no kicks from City Lights
One of these days, I’m goin’ back
Hear the June bugs hit the screen – Whack!

Wish I may, And I wish I might,
See those stars, All a-shining bright
Yeah, how I miss those country nights,
City Bug, dreaming of Country Lights

Hi-beams, lo-beams,   it’s    such a  fright
Gotta love those    neon lights
Red lights, black lights, and bug light traps
Watch out! You might get ----- Zapped!
