Livin' in the country sure feels fine You got your bootleg liquor and your homemade wine. I got those Big City Blues Big city blues got a hold of my shoes. The dealers are dealin', the rats are still squeelin' The sirens are screaming from the south side of town. I got those big city blues Big city blues got a hold of my shoes. Big city blues.........It's time to cut loose. By the snow in my eyes I'd say the weatherman lies He's just an everyday Joe in a showbiz disguise. I got those big city blues Big city blues got a hold of my shoes. I'm runnin' for the bus with a huff and a puff That city bus driver don't give a flyin'.....aahh man I got those big city blues Big city blues got a hold of my shoes Big city blues.......It's time to cut loose. Well the folks I meet out livin' on the street They got no roofs on their head they got no shoes on their feet. They got those big city blues Big city blues, got a hold of my shoes Big city blues.........It's time to cut loose. Big city blues.........It's tiime to cut loose.

Some find the bottle on a slippery slope Some find the needle full of nasty dope Some find lonely at the end of a rope Some find faith and never give up hope. Chorus How you gonna deal with it when it all goes down How you gonna deal with it when your turn comes around Got to pick up the pieces, it ain't always nice Keep the puzzle together, no matter what the price. Man goes to work each day does his 9-5 He ain't happy to be there but he's glad to be alive One day the boss comes in, says come gather round Their moving to Mexico, their leaving this town. Chorus Sitting round the table with family and friends Talking about the good old days and tying up loose ends There's one more empty chair, one more spirit born One more flower and one more thorn. Chorus Some find the bottle on a slippery slope Some find the needle full of nasty dope Some find lonely at the end of a rope Some find faith and never give up hope.

Is this love that's got me worn so thin I look in the mirror, is that me in this skin I had to look a little deeper, to find that me within. How long was I out and where have I been. I've been walking on stones laid out before you Now I know that ain't the way to the truth no no The path that leads me to you isn't littered with yesterdays news How long was I out and where have I been How long was I out Was that you that tried to drop me a line The phone was ringing, I didn't make it on time If your trying to tell me someting You better give me some kind of sign How long was I out and where have I been How long was I out Where have I been How long was I out

Well I've heard about you baby for a long long time I said I've heard about you baby for a long long time And since I've heard about you baby I can't get you out of my mind. I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I can't get you out of my mind. I was sold when I met you, sold way down the line I was sold when I met you, sold way down the line I was sold when I met you and I can't get you out of my mind. I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I ain't lying I said I'm crazy 'bout you baby and I can't get you out of my mind.

I wake up in the morning with the light shining in my eyes I wake up in the morning and put on my thin disguise And I realize you're a lot like me On this ship of fools and this great big sea. A new day is dawning and the light is shining in your eyes A new day is dawning, I see through your thin disguise And I realize you're a lot like me On this ship of fools on this great big sea. A new moon is rising, September is almost gone A new moon is rising, it will be December before too long And I realize you're a lot like me On this ship of fools on this great big sea.

Chorus Well she's a Rock n Roll dancer If you got the blues, she's got the answer A rock n roll dancer, a good old time romancer So get out of your seats, get up your feet And shake that thing to the boogie woogie beat. Give me the blues any day of the week Cry me a river I got tears on my cheek But when the day is done and I punch the clock Get out of my way I was born to rock Heading to the city with my little kittie Look out boys she's more than just pretty Chorus Well we went to the club just the other night The place was jumpin', it was out of sight The crowd was loose and the band was tight Ready to blow like dynomite We barely made it through the door And my baby's dancing on the old dance floor Chorus She likes to boogie, she likes to boogie, she likes to boogie..... Chorus I left the city where I come from Had a real swell time being on the run Couldn't shake the monkey off of my back Couldn't win the race or even find the track Around the bend and just before the end I got me a woman and a new best friend. Chorus

Chorus I'm going back to where I started The streets of my hometown. I'm going back to where I started The streets of my hometown. I'm going to take the one I love And we are going to settle down. I was raised up in the country with my daddy's black cadillac I was raised up in the country with my daddy's black cadillac I had too many chickens in my barnyard baby And a rooster on my back. Chorus I went down to New York City in a suit and a stetson hat. I went down to New York City in a suit and a stetson hat. They chased me out of town After the deal went flat. Chorus I spent some time in Nashville with a guitar on my back Then I jumped a line to Knoxville, got a house right beside the tracks But I couldn't write a song In that two room country shack. Chorus

It's cold and it's lonely and the sun is on the rise The wind is a howlin' I got blood in my eyes I've been up all night, boozin' the blues. I've been up all night, boozin' the blues. You done me wrong, I can't understand I got a broke down heart, it's right here in my hand I've been up all night, boozin' the blues I've been up all night, boozin' the blues It may not be the right thing, this boozin' the blues But it's the one thing, I know how to do We both had a good thing but now it's gone.. And I'm Leaving this morning on that southbound plane Leaving this morning I won't be feeling no pain I've been up all night, boozin' the blues I've been up all night, boozin' the blues I've seen you out with your man on the town Laughing and joking and it's bringing me down I've been up all night, boozin' the blues I've been up all night, boozin' the blues We both had a good thing but now it's gone And I'm...
