[Verse 1]
You wake up warm from a summer sleep
But those city women get up and turn on the heat
They just don't know when to let a man be
Those city women are gonna be the death of me

[Verse 2]
You work all day, and you sweat real hard
But you don’t earn enough for them on your job
So, they want you to go out and rob
Oh, those city women are gonna be the death of me

[Chorus]
I said, those city women gonna be the death of me, yeah
You know they're just not happy 'til they see you in misery

[Verse 3]
So, you buy a gun one rainy day
You meet a man in an alley, and you try to make him pay
But when he tried to run away
Oh, city women are gonna be the death of me

[Verse 4]
Now, here I am sittin’ in the jail
The warden gonna come for me three o'clock without fail
All because my woman skipped town with my bail
Oh, city women are gonna be the death of me

[Chorus]
I said, those city women gonna be the death of me, yeah
You know they're just not happy 'til they see you in misery

[Outro]
They'll be the death of me, yeah
