Lyrics
Big Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to Paris
From the Empire state
Taking pictures from the top
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
