Iris Dement - Big City lyrics

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

Chorus:

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

(chorus)

Big City turn me loose and set me free
