Big Things Going Down Lyrics

I left my hometown, baby
There'll be big things going down
I left my hometown, baby
There'll be big things going down

Now in this late afternoon
It ain’t none too soon

I hit that big city, baby
The streets be paved with gold
I hit the big city, baby
The streets here, made of gold
I’m standing on my own
Them streets be dirty and cold

Here I am in the city
I should've stayed at home
Here I am in the city
And I’m standing alone
What I see ain’t so pretty
Surely turn me to stone
