O Big City

Oh big city be kind to me You know the air here's so thick I can hardly breathe Left you alone for 200 days Found a different home and now the old feels strange And I've been doing my best you know To find my place and just let things go But comin' back's harder than I thought it'd be So big city be kind to me O big city be kind to me Coming back's much harder than I thought it'd be Thought I'd sneak right in and sneak right out again But each day it gets harder than it's ever been O big city be kind to me You know I still love you like I always did But I went to a different town and then I was finally born at age twenty-three So big city, lost your hold on me Already stayed too long and now I wanna leave You know the leaves are turning brown and falling from the trees And I miss Colorado like you won't believe So big city let go of me Oh big city be kind to me Comin' back's much harder than I thought it'd be Thought I'd sneak right in and sneak right out again But each day it gets harder to avoid my friends And if I slip right into what it was before Afraid I'll see that light get smaller in that closing door Oh big city be kind to me
