Big City

(Merle Haggard - Dean Holloway)



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 Montanna

And gimme all I got comin' 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.



Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montanna

And gimme all I got comin' to me

And keep your retirement and your so called social security

Big City turn me loose and set me free.
