"Big City Blues" lyrics

"Big City Blues"

Skinny dippin' in the Pedernales 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

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 big city girls

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

Skinny dippin' in the Pedernales River
Country girl sure could make me shiver
Right now that's just what I could use
To wash away these big city blues
