Classic Country Lyrics: "Big City" von Merle Haggard

In diesem Song von Merle Haggard geht
es weniger um die Grossstadt an sich,
sondern vielmehr um einem Mann, der
seinen Job leid ist und alles hinschmeis-
sen möchte.

I'm tired of this dirty old city
Entirely too much work and never enough play.
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks.
Think I'll walk off my steady job today.

Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the 
middle of Montana.
And gimme all I got comin' to me,
And keep your retirement and your so called 
social security.
Big City turn me loose and set me free.

Been working everyday since I was twenty.
Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've 
done.
There's folks who never work and they've got 
plenty.
Think it's time some guys like me had some fun.

Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle 
of Montana.
And gimme all I got comin' to me,
And keep your retirement and your so called social 
security.
Big City turn me loose and set me free.
