When I was living in the city going to school Green River reminded me so much of home it'd make me tear up on occasion, which is pretty hilarious considering how much of an upbeat cheery song it is, but the lyrics do have an air of homesickness to them and the final verse always got to me. Those days I was counting down every day waiting to move back home.
Old Cody Junior took me over, Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'. And if you get lost come on home to Green River." Well, come home.

I guess this one could suit various cities, but it was actually written while thinking about mine:  Orquesta Mondragón: Corazón de neón ("Neon Heart") "La ciudad donde vivo ha crecido................................ The city where I live has grown de espaldas al cielo. ................................ with its back turned to heaven. La ciudad donde vivo es el mapa................................ The city where I live is the veritable map de la soledad. ................................ of loneliness. Al que llega le da un caramelo ................................ To whomever arrives, it gives a piece of candy con el veneno de la ansiedad. ................................ filled with the poison of anxiety. La ciudad donde vivo es mi cárcel ................................ The city where I live is my jail y mi libertad. ................................ and my freedom. La ciudad donde vivo es un ogro ................................ The city where I live is an ogre con dientes de oro, ................................ with golden teeth, una amante de lujo que siempre ................................ a luxury lover that I always quise seducir. ................................ wanted to seduce. La ciudad junta a dios y al diablo, ................................ The city brings together God and the Devil, al funcionario y al travestí. ................................ the civil servant and the transvestite. La ciudad donde vivo es un niño ................................ The city where I live is a child limpiando un fusil. ................................ cleaning an assault rifle. Chorus: ................................ Chorus: Corazón, corazón, corazón, corazón de cemento. ................................ Heart, heart, heart, heart made of cement. Corazón, corazón, corazón, corazón de hormigón. ................................ Heart, heart, heart, heart made of concrete. Corazón, corazón, corazón, enfermo de polución. ................................ Heart, heart, heart, sick with pollution. Corazón, corazón, corazón, corazón de neón. ................................ Heart, heart, heart, neon heart. La ciudad donde vivo es un monstruo ................................ The city where I live is a seven-headed con siete cabezas. ................................ monster. Es un pájaro herido ................................ It's a wounded bird envuelto en papel celofán. ................................ wrapped in cellophane. Un inmenso barril de cerveza ................................ An immense beer keg que de repente puede estallar. ................................ that could blow up at any moment. La ciudad donde vivo es el templo ................................ The city where I live is the temple del bien y del mal. ................................ of good and evil. Chorus. ................................ Chorus. Barcelona, Moscú, Casablanca, ................................ Barcelona, Moscow, Casablanca, Bruselas, Manila, ................................ Brussels, Manila, Roma, Tokio, Los Ángeles, Nápoles, ................................ Rome, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Naples, Londres, Berlín, ................................
