T. Graham Brown - Big City Lyrics

T. Graham Brown Lyrics

"Big City"
(originally by Merle Haggard)

I'm tired of this dirty old city
And I'm tired too much work and never enough play
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks
I think I'll walk off my steady job today

Turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Montana
And give me all I've got comin' to me
And keep your retirement
And your so called social security
Big city, turn me loose and set me free

I been working everyday since I was twenty
I ain't got a lot to show for anything I've done
There's folks who never work and they've got plenty
I think it's time for guys like us to have some fun

Turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Montana
And give me all I've got comin' to me
You better keep your retirement
And your so called social security
Big city, turn me loose and set me free
Yeah, big city, turn me loose and set me free
