Skinny dippin' in the Perdenales River
Country girl sure could make me shiver
Right now that's just what I could use
To wash away these big city blues
Hollywood stars beneath my feet
Everywhere I look I see concrete
I could use a little Southern rain
Blanco County calls my name
Chorus
Goddamn these big city blues
I got them big city blues
Someone done went and
stole my favorite pair of boots
Goddamn these big city blues
Daddy was a no count bull ridin' son of a bitch
That's what my momma said
She cursed the day they ever met
She's the cutest small town thing that he'd
Seen in the world
'cept daddy loved the big city girls
Chorus
