|
She was like a brand new song on an old guitar |
|
Supernova in a mason jar |
|
Every boy in town wanted to show her around |
|
As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king |
|
Beating along this American dream |
|
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up |
|
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes |
|
And I knew just where to take her that night |
|
And we got high on top of that ridge |
|
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge |
|
When the sun went down, there she was |
|
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust |
|
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night |
|
She's city lights |
|
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have |
|
A shooting star that falls too fast |
|
Try holding on, it's already gone |
|
I searched that radio low and high |
|
Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by |
|
And I did alright, for a small town guy |
|
But even in my arms I knew |
|
I'd never shine as bright as her city lights do |
|
We got high on top of that ridge |
|
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge |
|
When the sun went down, there she was |
|
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust |
|
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night |
|
She's city lights |
|
We got high on top of that ridge |
|
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge |
|
And when the sun went down, there she was |
|
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust |
|
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night |
|
She's city lights |
|
She's city lights |
|
She's my city lights, city lights |
|
She's my city lights, city lights |
|
She's my city lights, city lights |
|
She's my city lights, city lights |
