No Big City Lyrics by Mike Zito

Today

2008

I remember being young
When I went downtown
Buildings so tall I can’t see
Clouds in the sky
Shadows would black out the streets
People walk for miles just to get back to work
All the cars and buses stealing the scene
Oh the one homeless man
Who’s sleeping on the corner with a newspaper pillow
Obscene
It’s no big city
Anymore
It’s no big city
Not for me
Now it’s time to grow up
And stay out all night
Downtown clubs got the beat
Yeah the girls in the bars, they drink too much
And the drugs really turn on the heat
The lights at night
Shine on the river
While I’m heading east to wake up my mind
Now the suns coming up over east saint Louis
And I’m wide awake and walking it blind
It’s not big city
Anymore
It’s no big city
Oh not to me
34 years later from the day I was born
In the same city
Almost all of my life
I’ve been right from wrong
I’ve been black and white
Sometimes at the blade of a knife
Now it all makes sense
Why we need to stay together
And we’re gonna fight the good fight
Cause the times gonna come
To open our hearts
Minds that will become one tonight
No big city
Anymore
It’s no big city
Oh not to me
I said no big city
Well not anymore
No big city
Oh not to me
Well anymore
Not anymore
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
