City Lights

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 She's my city lights, city lights
