She was like a brand new song on an old guitar, a supernova in a mason jar
Every boy in town wanted to show her around
And as the dirt road fence broke, Katsu King beating along
This American dream racked out a truck when she showed up
She had a fire inside her far away eyes
And I know just where to take her that night
And we got high on top of that ridge
I could see for miles past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
When the sun went down, there she was
Shining like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I'm a cigarette burning slow on a summer night
She's city lights
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have
A shooting star that falls too fast
Try holding on, it's already gone
I searched that radio low and high
Tried to find a song to make a memory by
And I did alright for a small town guy
But even in my arms I knew
I could never shine as bright as her city lights do
And we got high on top of that ridge
We could see for miles past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
When the sun went down, there she was
Shining like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I'm a cigarette burning slow on a summer night
She's city lights
And we got high on top of that ridge
We could see for miles past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
When the sun went down, there she was
Shining like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I'm a cigarette burning slow on a summer night
She's city lights
She's city lights
She's my city lights
She's my city lights
She's my city lights
She's my city lights
She's my city lights
