City Lights

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
