"Bright light n' big city" 
Sung: 
Bright light, big city, gone to my baby's head 
Whoa, bright light, an'big city, gone to my baby's head 
I tried to tell the woman, but she don't believe a word I said 
It's all right, pretty baby, (gonna) need my help someday 
Whoa, it's all right, pretty baby, gonna need my help someday 
Ya' gonna wish you had a-listened, to some a-those things I said 
Go ahead, pretty baby, a-honey, knock yourself out 
Oh go ahead, pretty baby, honey, knock yourself out 
I still love ya baby, 'cause you don't know what it's all about 
Bright light, a big city, they went to my baby's head 
Oh, the bright light, the big city, they went to my baby's head 
I hope you remember, a-some of those things I said
