The Tragically Hip - Big City lyrics
[The Tragically Hip - Big City lyrics]
I used to be a simple little country boy
I didn't even know the time of day
But i could see brighter lights
In the city at night
I told myself i was going to stay
Big city big city well you ain't
Quite big enough for me
Well i used to go fishing nearly every day
I used to catch myself a trout or two
But i could see bigger fish
In the city at night
Well i should know where i caught myself you
No you're not well i used to have
A job but it didn't pay
I told myself that i had to quit
But i walked in that office with
A gun in my hand
He said "shoot 'cause I don't give a shit"
I didn't even know the time of day
But i could see brighter lights
In the city at night
I told myself i was going to stay
Big city big city well you ain't
Quite big enough for me
Well i used to go fishing nearly every day
I used to catch myself a trout or two
But i could see bigger fish
In the city at night
Well i should know where i caught myself you
No you're not well i used to have
A job but it didn't pay
I told myself that i had to quit
But i walked in that office with
A gun in my hand
He said "shoot 'cause I don't give a shit"
