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
