Big Lights Lyrics by Yonder Mountain String Band

Old Hands

0

[Verse 1]
Way up here they shine like diamonds, the big lights below
Where lived a gal, I'll tell you now, tonight I'm gonna go
You shoulda seen her smilin' as she moved across the floor
I don't get out dancin' much no more

[Verse 2]
Way up here we rides in pickup trucks, deluxe four-wheel drive
You work day in, you work day out, but at night you come alive
You take your hard-earned money from diggin' in the hole
Bringin' out the silver and gold

[Chorus]
Did she just get tired of dancin' with a boy from the hills?
Dirty boots, ain't got no city shoes, no hundred dollar bills
I spend my evenings dreamin' bout the big mother lode
Dancin' down this dark mountain road

[Verse 4]
Way up here we likes the slow ones, a waltz sure would do
Everyone's watchin', it's just me and you
Another time across the pine, swing me once more
Swing me darlin' right on out the door

[Chorus]
Did she just get tired of dancin' with a boy from the hills?
Dirty boots, ain't got no city shoes, no hundred dollar bills
I spend my evenings dreamin' bout the big mother lode
Dancin' down this dark mountain road

[Outro]
Dancin' down this dark mountain road
