City Lights

She was like a brand-new song on an old guitar

A supernova in a mason jar

Every boy in town wanted to show her around

And as the dirt road, Finch Road cuts the king

Beatin' along this American dream

Racked-out truck when she showed up

She had a fire inside her far away eyes

And I just knew 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

Shinin' like a big ol' 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  shootin' star that falls too fast

Try holdin' 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

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

Shinin' like a big ol' 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

Shinin' like a big ol' sky full o' 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
