She was like a brand new song on an old guitar
A supernova in a Mason’s jar
Every boy in town wanted to show her around

As the dirt road Finch cuts the king
Beating along this American dream
Right out the trunk, when she showed up

She had a fire inside her faraway eyes
And I just knew where to take her that night

We got high on top of that bridge
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River bridge
And when the sun went down, and there she was
Shining like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I’m a cigarette burnin’ slow on a summer night
She’s city lights

She’s like a broken heart you can’t wait to have
The shooting star that falls to fast
Try holding on, it’s already gone

I searched that radio low and high
Tryna 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
I’d never shine this bright as her city lights do

We got high on top of that bridge
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River bridge
And when the sun went down, and there she was
Shining like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I’m a cigarette burnin’ slow on a summer night
She’s city lights

We got high on top of that bridge
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton, and the River bridge
And when the sun went down, and there she was
Shining like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I’m a cigarette burnin’ slow on a summer night
She’s 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
