Nice Place To Visit

(album: Ecology - 1970)

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 loving 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
