Big City Girls

[Verse 1] She came walking through the gasoline glow Black leather lightning at a midnight show I was leaning on a fire-red Chevrolet She said, “Small-town boy, better stay outta my way” She had danger painted cherry-red A switchblade smile and a price on her head I said, “Baby, I ain’t scared of the fall” She threw me the keys and said, “Then give me it all” [Pre-Chorus] One touch, hot blood Like a live wire under my skin No brakes, no rules Let the trouble begin [Chorus] Small-town boys and big-city girls Burning rubber at the end of the world Hearts on fire, flags unfurled Small-town boys and big-city girls We’re too damn young to die this slow Turn it up loud, let the whole town know She’s my riot, I’m her wrecking ball Small-town boys and big-city girls want it all [Verse 2] She knew a backroom bar by the harbor lights Where the band played dirty and the drinks hit right I knew a county road with a dead-man curve She said, “Show me, baby, what you’ve got the nerve” We tore through the dark with the windows down Two runaway hearts on the edge of town Every red light looked like a starting gun By the time they turned green, we were already gone [Pre-Chorus] One kiss, sweet sin Like a match dropped into the rain No sleep, no fear Do it all again [Chorus] Small-town boys and big-city girls Burning rubber at the end of the world Hearts on fire, flags unfurled Small-town boys and big-city girls We’re too damn young to die this slow Turn it up loud, let the whole town know She’s my riot, I’m her wrecking ball Small-town boys and big-city girls want it all [Bridge] When the blue lights rise in the rearview glass Put your boots on the dash and your foot on the gas Let the saints say a prayer, let the good girls stare We’ll be halfway to heaven before they know we were there [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] No surrender No goodbyes Just your shadow By my side [Final Chorus] Small-town boys and big-city girls Burning rubber at the end of the world Hearts on fire, flags unfurled Small-town boys and big-city girls We’re too damn young to die this slow Turn it up loud, let the whole town know She’s my riot, I’m her wrecking ball Small-town boys and big-city girls want it all Small-town boys! Big-city girls! Raise some hell And shake this world! Small-town boys! Big-city girls! Tonight we want it all!
