about

City Lights was written (at least from Sam's viewpoint in thinking) about the frustration that can be in the music industry with closed doors!!
And some closed doors will always be there! "I didn't pack a gun in Nashville when I and Ron wrote this song! But I met some that did!
I did get held up once! Then I did buy a gun for protection, but I didn't shoot any lights out or anyone! LOL!!
I hope you enjoy the story and the song!
Be kind to country boys visiting your city!!! They need your hospitality!!!!

lyrics

Cty Lights

w/m Sam Reeves and Ron Dockery

A country boy hiked into the city
On a busy hot summers night
The cars speed by full of people
Going to all those places under the lights
Oh the lights they look so pretty
They almost look like the stars
He was overtaken with excitement
Oh He had to sing He pulled out his guitar

Oh City Lights YOu look so good
Oh city lights I knew you would
Oh city lights YOu're all around
Oh city lights Don't let me down

But no one would listen to him
They wanted to throw him in city Jail
He got so feed up he went crazy
And he shot the street lights all to hell

Oh city lights You look so good
Oh city lights I knew yu would
Oh city lights You let me down
Oh city lights I'll shot you out
you're gettin shot out

OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH You let me down
OH OH OH OH I'll shoot you out You're gettin shot out


OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH
