She was like a brand new song on an old guitar Supernova in a Mason's jar, Every boy in town wanted to show her around And as the dirt road Finch cuts the king Beating along this American dream Right out out the trunk when she showed up She had a fire sat in her faraway eyes And I knew just where to take her that night We got high on top of that bridge We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River bridge When the sun went down, there she was Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust, I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night She's city lights She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have, The shooting star that falls to fast Try holding on, it's already gone I searched that radio low and high Tryina find a song that make a memory by And I did alright, for a small town guy But even in my old town I knew I'd never shine this bright as her city lights do We got high on top of that bridge We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River bridge When the sun went down, there she was Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night She's city lights We got high on top of that bridge We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River bridge When the sun went down, there she was Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night She's city lights She's city lights She is my city lights, city lights She is my city lights, city lights She is my city lights, city lights She is my city lights, city lights
