nice place to visit

Singer:rare earth

nice place to visit. well it's a real nice place to visit

but you wouldn't want to live here

it's a damn nice place to be

and they really make you give here

children run around in the street with dirty feet

i can't repeat what they say

i gave my lovin' to a woman last night and never known it

'til today

something's got to change my way of thinking 'bout the money i'm spending after i been drinking

lordy

i really wouldn't live here

i really wouldn't live here

you pay a real high price for something that is nice when you get here

but something rotten on the side has got to ruin your pride after you've been here

ten or twelve women who have gone astray

they're living only for the dollar and another day

when you can come here

when you can come here

something's got to change my way of being and this dirty old life that i been seeing

lordy

i really wouldn't live here

nice place to visit! but you wouldn't want to live here

nice place to visit! but you wouldn't want to live here

now what's a man supposed to do if there's a love that isn't true in his life?

that's why he'll take his foolish pride and move it over to the side

for any real wife

then in his mind he'll search and find why he is blind

and what he is doing here

that's why i sing this foolish thing can only bring you down

after you've been here

something's got to change my way of being and this rotten old life that i been seeing

lordy

i really wouldn't live here

nice place to visit! but you wouldn't want to live here

nice place to visit! but you wouldn't want to live here

no no

such a nice place to visit! but you wouldn't want to live here

such a nice place to visit! but you wouldn't want to live here

no no no
