She was like a brand new song on an old guitar
Supernova in a Masons jar,
Every boy in town wanted to show her around
And as the dirt road Finch cuts the king
Beating along this American dream
Right out out the trunk when she showed up
She had a fire sat in her faraway eyes
And I just knew where to take her that night
When the sun went down, there she was
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust,
Im a cigarette burnin slow on a summer night
Shes city lights
Shes like a broken heart you cant wait to have,
The shooting star that falls to fast
Try holding on, its already gone
I searched that radio low and high
Tryina find a song that make a memory by
And I did alright, for a small town guy
But even in my old town I knew
Id never shine this bright as her city lights do
When the sun went down, there she was
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
Im a cigarette burnin slow on a summer night
Shes city lights
When the sun went down, there she was
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
Im a cigarette burnin slow on a summer night
Shes city lights
Shes city lights
She is my city lights, city lights
She is my city lights, city lights
She is my city lights, city lights
She is my city lights, city lights
