Big City Lyrics - Tulare Dust: A Songwriters' Tribute To Merle Haggard - Merle Haggard

I'm tired of this dirty old city 

And tired of too much work 

And never enough play 

And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks 

Think I'll walk off my steady job today 

Turn me loose, set me free 

Somewhere in the middle of Montana 

And give me all I've got coming to me 

And keep your retirement 

And your so-called Social Security 

Big city turn me loose and set me free 

Been working everyday since I was twenty 

Haven't got a thing to show 

For anything I've done 

There's folks who never work and they've got plenty 

Think it's time some guys like me had some fun, so 

Turn me loose, set me free 

Somewhere in the middle of Montana 

And give me all I've got coming to me 

And keep your retirement 

And your so-called Social Security 

Big city turn me loose and set me free 

Hey, big city, turn me loose and set me free
