Picking up wheels on the freeway
Shopping round downtown all day
Found a way to make a real deal
On a wheel

Summertime, trying to bum a ride
Catch a dime from the next fellow
Hell of a time, bumming a ride
In the summertime

Backup traffic, static on the radio
Where'd we go, power line entwined
Made me miss the punchline
Really fine

Whoa, whoa, whoa
It's all right in the city
Even at night, it's kind of pretty
Even though it's a little dirty
It's all right in the city

If you know where to go
If you know where to go

Love on the street in the city
Summertime heat in the city
Basically great in the city
Little bit of hate, what a pity

You can make a fight
If you really make it tonight
If you really make it all right

Bass box, sweat box
Playing hard rock
Anywhere, who cares
Long as you got the feeling there
Long as you got the feeling there
It is, I said, city folk whiz kids
All right

Six flat, fast tracks
Screaming down the quarter mile
If you go to see the show

Whoa, whoa, whoa
It's all right in the city
Even at night, it's kind of pretty
Even though it's a little dirty
It's all right in the city

If you know where to go
If you know where to go
