Lyrics

GREAT BIG CITY

I love to hear the traffic sounds
I love to mingle with the crowds
It?s noisy and it?s loud
It?s where I will be found
Yes I have made up my mind
Going to leave the fields behind
This is where I want to be
In a great big city

On the farm that I came from
You?re working hard from sun to sun
You barely get your chores all done
Another days work has begun
An honest life that I admire
But to that life I don?t aspire
This is where I want to be
In a great big city

I want to play my old guitar
In a nightclub or a bar
Instead of planting corn and soy
I will be playin? Sonny Boy
Instead of wearing muddy boots
I will be wearing 3 piece suits
This is where I want to be
In a great big city

I know the air is not as clear
But I got what I need right here
No longer eating off the land
You?ll find me at the hot dog stand
I love the glow of city lights
I?ll play the blues again tonight
This is where I want to be
In a great big city
