Tear Drop City is a single by The Monkees released on February 8, 1969 on Colgems #5000. It had been recorded on October 26, 1966. The song went to #56 on the Billboard chart. The lyrics are about a man who feels low because his girlfriend has left him. Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, it was the first single The Monkees released as a trio (Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Davy Jones; Peter Tork left in December 1968). Micky Dolenz did the lead vocal. Boyce and Hart produced and arranged the song, which ran 2 minutes and 1 second. The flip-side was "A Man Without a Dream", with Davy Jones doing the lead vocal. Both songs were from The Monkees album "Instant Replay", which was put out on CD by Rhino Records in 1995.
