Verse IShe was like a Gbrand new song on an old guitar
GSupernova in a Mason's jar,
Every Gboy in town wanted to show Gher around
And as the Gdirt road Finch cuts the king
GBeating along this American dream
GRight out out the trunk when she sGhowed up
She had a Dfire sat in her C9faraway eyes
And I Dknew just where to C9take her that nightChorusAnd We got Ghigh on top of that Gbridge
We could see for Gmiles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River Gbridge
When the sun went Gdown, there she Gwas
ShGinning like a big old sky full of diamond Gdust,
I'm a Dcigarette burnin' slow on a summer niC9ght
She's Gcity lightsVerse IIShe's like a Gbroken heart you can't wait to have,
The Gshooting star that falls to fast
Try Gholding on, it's alGready gone
I Gsearched that radio low and high
Tryina Gfind a song that make a memory by
And I Gdid alright, for a smGall town guy
But Deven in my C9arms I knew
I'd Dnever shine this bright as her C9city lights doChorusAnd We got Ghigh on top of that Gbridge
We could see for Gmiles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River Gbridge
When the sun went Gdown, there she Gwas
ShGinning like a big old sky full of diamond Gdust,
I'm a Dcigarette burnin' slow on a summer niC9ght
She's Gcity lightsGuitar SoloGEmDC9
