"C-I-T-Y" is a song by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band that tells the story of a working-class man in Detroit who dreams of making it big and providing a better life for himself and his loved ones. The man works in a factory, building Cadillacs, but knows he can never afford one himself. He dreams of owning a big red car, a big white house, and finding a blue-eyed girl like the one he loves. The lyrics convey the struggles of living in a city where the once-bright lights have dimmed and times are tough. Despite the challenges, the man remains determined to make his American Dream a reality, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. The song is ultimately an anthem about the resilience and tenacity of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
