Iris DeMent Big City (Merle Haggard) I'm tired of this dirty old city entirely too much work and never enough play and I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks I think I'll walk off my steady job today So turn me loose, set me free somewhere in the middle of Montana Gimme all I've got coming to me and keep your retirement and your, so called, social security Big City turn me loose and set me free I've been working every day since I was twenty I ain't got a thing to show for anything I've done Some folks never work and they've got plenty I think it's time girls like me had some fun So turn me loose, set me free somewhere in the middle of Montana Gimme all I've got coming to me and keep your retirement and your, so called, social security Big City turn me loose and set me free Big City turn me loose and set me free (c) 1981 Shade Tree Music [from the "Tulare Dust" tribute album]
