letra de big city - lennie gallant

big green sign shining up in the headlights
buddy’s car was gonna make it there alright
engine knockin’ and it wasn’t gonna make it back home
big smokestack, puffin’ like a cigarette
big black cloud blockin’ out the sunset
and i was thinkin’ of the time when she’d left home

i was only ten when she slipped out
i was peeking through the grate when she’d headed out
but i knew back then that i would walk too
what’s a poor boy gonna do?
big city
in the big city

so i came here looking for my sister
guess she thought that no one ever missеd her
it had been seven yеars she’d been gone
never got a call or a letter
heard momma sayin’ it was for the better
i can’t remember the old man mentioning her name

it was my first time on the city streets
and my eyes and ears could make it all week
but i couldn’t find out where she was to
what’s a poor boy gonna do?
big city
in the big city
ain’t it funny the way some things go
when you can’t tell the way the wind blows
on a one way street where no one cares
one too many beers in the bar in the bas-m-nt
buddy passed out, and all of my money was spent
i took a walk downtown just to get some air

then i saw her standing by a streetlight
i went up and i said, “are you alright?”
she said, “i might be kid, but it’ll cost you.”
what’s a poor girl gonna do?
big city
in the big city
what you gonna do?
