Interrupted Melody - City Boy

Bright young woman came running from home

Just a part-time lover and a full-time wife

With her heart in the dark and her head out in the

Daylight

Every small-town mother had a rumour on her lips

He left a smile on her face and a mark in her arm

And every Saturday night when the girls gave their

He was hustling trade for the kid from out West

Now and again when she disagreed

Is a letter from home and a look in her eye

Now and again when she disagreed

It was an interrupted melody

Working the week-end--Tricks In the park

Over exposure—
