1
[Verse 1]
2
Before she figures out what's wrong, put another record on
3
She picks it up and she carries a cross
4
Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off
5
Sure, some nights she'll curse these clubs
6
She's two years off some prairie town
7
She goes out almost every night
8
She dresses up and she spins around
9
The same guy buys another round
10
To let her know he's interested
11
The nights go on forever now
12
But the morning comes so quick
13
You gotta loosen your grip
14
[Chorus]
15
Never let them tie you up, it's a big city there's a lot of love
16
Salted rims and frosted mugs
17
You gotta get back out there
18
Flat champagne and inbound trains
19
Soft hands and phantom pains
20
Never let them tie you up, it's a big city there's a lot of love
21
[Verse 2]
22
Once she's pretty sure its safe, she goes to a different place
23
Decides she's gonna get some guy before she even finds him
24
And she's got him where she wants him
25
But she can't decide if she wants him
26
She goes out almost every night
27
She cuddles up and she spins inside
28
He comes in much closer and to signal he's still interested
29
Some nights are so complicated, soft hands are so frustrated
30
She never gets in their cars
31
[Chorus]
32
[Post-Chorus]
33
She's two years off some prairie town
34
She dresses up and she spins around
35
Little looks and smaller talk
36
Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off
37
She's two years off some ask the prairie town
38
She dresses up and she spins around
39
She never lets them tie her down
40
Its a big city, and there's just so much love
41
[Bridge]
42
Once you're out there everything's possible
43
Might be a fight, there might be a miracle
44
Loosen your grip, it feels so incredible
45
Let the city live your life for you tonight
46
Once you're out there everything's possible
47
Even the bad nights aren't that terrible
48
Loosen your grip, it feels so incredible
49
Let the city live your life for you tonight
50
[Last Chorus]
51
Never let them tie you up, it's a big city there's a lot of love
52
Salted rims and frosted mugs
53
It's a big city there's a lot of love
54
Tavern wine and tiny bugs.
55
It's a big city there's a lot of love.
56
Never let them tie you up
57
It's a big city
