There ain't no chains on my ankles
No chains on my wrists
Just chains on my heart
Cause you are missed
Oh big city woman
Big city mama leave me be
You lost in the city
A city that won't set you free
Got my mind set
What I have to do
Gotta get to moving
Get away from you
Oh big city woman
Big city mama leave me be
You lost in the city
A city that won't set you free
Big city baby
Make a grown man cry
All you doing
Makes me want to lay down and die
Oh big city woman
Big city mama leave me be
You lost in the city
A city that won't set you free
Well mama you a no count
A dirty cheatin' liar
But still somehow
You set my heart afire
Oh big city woman
Big city mama leave me be
You lost in the city
A city that won't set you free
Yea you a big city woman
Made a big ole fool of me
