| You got one boy
|
| With your right hand
|
| And the other one
|
| You hail a taxi cab
|
| Big city girls you make a mess out of me
|
| Now I’m on my way back down to New Orleans
|
| You got a nice car
|
| From a rich man
|
| With a gold watch
|
| And a fake tan
|
| Big city girls you make a mess out of me
|
| Now I’m on my back down to Tennessee
|
| Big city days
|
| Seeing if it pays
|
| Barely rescued by the hell you’re going to raise
|
| She’s going to roll you
|
| Through the wasteland
|
| While she takes you
|
| To see the latest band
|
| Big city girls you make a mess out of me
|
| But I’m on my way back down to the Florida Keys
|
| She’ll tip your last cash
|
| Past a velvet rope
|
| And you’ve got to crash
|
| Cause it’s your only hope
|
| Big city girls you make a mess out of me
|
| But I’m on my way back home to New Orleans
|
| Big city days
|
| Seeing if it pays
|
| Barely rescued by the hell you’re going to raise
|
| Big city night
|
| Hanging on too tight
|
| But she takes my hand and I give up the fight
|
| She’s got one eye
|
| On the next bar
|
| And the other one
|
| On exactly who you think you are
|
| Big Apple girls you make a mess out of me
|
| South Jersey girls you make a mess out of me
|
| Hill Country girls you make a mess out of me
|
| Rocky Mountain Girls you make a mess out of me
|
| Sweet Valley you make a mess out of me
|
| Big Easy girls you make a mess out of me
|
| Little easy girls you make a mess out of me
|
| Any easy girls you make a mess out of me
|
| But I always come back home to New York City |
