A small town boy with a big time dream Jimmy was a bonified rocking machine He said one day I’m going to show the world Exactly what I’ve got
He took a pull out sixteen and made a deal For an iron horse and rocking steel and then he hit the highway He ain’t turning back no more Let it ride
First gear, he’s off and running Second gear, can you feel it coming Catch the wind and ride, to heaven
Bright lights, big city I’ve got a six-string up So I’m down and dirty I’m gonna rock a little bit shake a little bit Well I’ve got a dream and it just won’t quit
Bright lights (bright lights), big city (big city) And here I come and you better get ready Cause moving up loving it feeling alive Get on the world and ride Gonna make it to the other side
Jackie was just a small town girl When she really lived in another world One where she was a queen just like you know her gene
So she packed her bags and she said goodbye Little boy called Jimmy hitched a ride and together they rode off to the thrills of Hollywood Let it ride
First gear, they’re off and running Second gear, can you feel it coming Catch the wind and ride, to heaven
Bright lights, big city I’m heading out to the big time don’t you worry I cry a little bit, laugh a little bit Cause we got a dream and it just won’t quit
Bright lights (bright lights), big city (big city) What we find might not be pretty But we’re moving up, loving it, feeling alive Get on the world and ride to make it to the other side
Bright lights, bright lights, bright lights…
First gear, that’s right Catch the wind and ride, to heaven
Bright lights (bright lights), big city (big city) What you find might not be pretty So you cry a little bit, laugh a little bit Only you got a dream you just don’t quit
Bright lights (bright lights), big city (big city) You gotta move like a freight train slow and steady But you moving up, loving it, feeling alive Get on the world and ride to make it to the other side
