Big City - The Pretty Things

Well I used to be simple living countryboy

Didn’t even know the time of day

Till I bought a ticket on a southboundtrain

Got my blues, I was going to stay

Big city, big city

Well you ain’t quite big enough for me

I used to go out fishing on a sunny day

Catch myself a child or two

But there are bigger fish in a city pool

I should know cause I got myself you

Big city, big city

Yeah you ain’t quite big enough for me

I soon forgot the faith my mother told me

I being good in everything

For there are things in the city design

Cause I know why women roll of the die
