Shelby Stone & Country Never Dies - Big City Blues Lyrics

Shelby Stone & Country Never Dies Lyrics

"Big City Blues"
(originally by Charlie Robison)

Ready?
One, two, three

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
Except 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

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 can use
To wash away these big-city blues

To wash away these big-city blues
