Big City |
| Think twice about big tall cities |
| That’s right |
| Think twice about big tall cities |
| Think twice |
| Right |
| He closes his eyes to the world |
| When he wakes up at night |
| And she, she reaches tenderly |
| Kisses him and holds him tight |
| He, he lies awake by her side |
| And waits for the cold sweat to dry |
| She, she comforts he and tells him |
| Scary things in your sleep can’t bite |
| Tomorrow they’ll pack up their buckeye ties |
| Head for the big city |
| Past the driving rains |
| And desert plains touching Mexico |
| They’ll see sidewalk stars |
| Luxury cars and even Disneyland |
| Reach the land of plenty |
| With the hopes that maybe they can |
| Make a new start on the world |
| But my advice? |
| You’re gonna |
| Think twice about big cities |
| Think twice that’s right |
| Think twice about big tall cities |
| Right |
| Think twice about big cities |
| Think twice that’s right |
| You’re gonna |
| Think twice about big cities |
| Think twice that’s right |
| I’m sorry old man |
| Its nothing personal you understand |
| But I’ve just gotta run |
| This lead pipe on someone |
| For tommorrow they ride upon |
| A sour wind that’s gonna push them west |
| With Mojave dust, paper cups |
| And Grayhound immigrants |
| There’s the sidewalk saviors |
| And drunken sailors |
| And she-men in leather like cops |
| You got the calling |
| Stop stalling |
| The big city’s waiting for you |
| But my advice? |
| You’re gonna |
| Think twice about big cities |
| Think twice about big cities |
| Think twice about big tall cities |
| Think twice that’s right… |
