Big City |
Headed back on a highway drive, Interstate Eighty-five |
Comin' back from a show that we had in Charlotte |
It was getting kind of late and the fireworks display, it played a thief to all |
the stars glory |
The wheels they were turning, boy my eyes they were burning, it said Raleigh |
fifty miles |
Big city, turn me on |
Pick me up, throw me down just like your doll |
Tell me I’m wrong when I know just what I saw |
Big city turn me on |
Me and my friends go to the same bar every Thursday |
We stare at the centerfold eyes that keep mixing our drinks |
The liquor lies are all that’s left of this poor girl’s innocence |
She don’t know my name but I’ll be damned if one day she won’t |
Big city, turn me on |
Pick me up, throw me down just like your doll |
Tell me I’m wrong when I know just what I saw |
Big city turn me on |
Candlelight retrospection on a hand-me-down couch |
There is coffee in my hand, her head in my lap, and Dylan on the stereo |
Like a jewelry store window her eyes, they were made to sparkle |
And for a moment I still believed in love |
Big city, turn me on |
Pick me up, throw me down just like your doll |
Tell me I’m wrong when I know good-and-well what I saw |
Big city, turn me on, boy, turn me on |
I said, turn me on |
I said, big city turn me on |
Big city, turn me on |
Big city, turn me on |
Big city, turn me on |
