If you’re going to the bright lights 
You better watch yourself 
If you’re heading for the bright lights 
Better watch yourself 
Because if you’re not careful you’re gonna be needing help

If you’re going to the bright lights 
Take up some do re mi 
If you’re headed for the bright lights 
Take up some do re mi 
Because people in the city will give you the third degree

If you got cash then it’s all yours 
That credit card can open doors 
If you’ve a yen to take a line 
That little wad will do just fine

Thinking about the bright lights 
You better walk tall 
Thinking about the bright lights 
You better walk tall
Because the people in the city just love to see you fall

If you want to stay healthy 
Better stay on your farm 
Because if you come on a little wealthy 
You’re gonna come to harm 
People in the city ain’t used to country charm
