Intro: Em
Verse 1
Em D Emss
Skinny dippin’ in the Pedernales River||
Em D Em-i
Country girl sure could make me shiver
Right now that’s just what I could use
To wash away these big city blues
Verse 2 (Same chord progression as Verse 1)
Hollywood stars beneath my feet
Everywhere I look I see concrete
I could use a little Southern rain
Blanco County calls my name
Chorus
Goddamn these big city blues
I got them big city blues
Someone done went and stole my favorite pair of boots
Goddamn these big city blues
Verse 3
Daddy was a no count bull ridin’ son of a b***h
That’s what my momma said
She cursed the day they ever met
She’s the cutest small-town thing that he’d seen in the world
‘cept daddy loved big city girls
Chorus
Repeat Verse 1
