Big City lyrics

I'm tired of this dirty old city

Entirely too much work and never enough play

And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks

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 coming to me

And keep your retirement

And your so called social security

Big City, turn me loose and set me free

Been working everyday since I was twenty

Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've done

There's folks who never work and they've got plenty

Think it's time some guys like me had some fun

Yeah, big city, turn me loose and set me free
