Lyrics
Verse 1: Packed my truck with a guitar and a dream Left Pike County for that Nashville scene Now I'm standing on Broadway with my jaw on the ground There's more people on this block than in my whole hometown Chorus: I'm lost in the city lights, don't know left from right Where's the courthouse, where's the water tower? Used to know every face, now I'm lost in this place But I'm chasing that Nashville power Lost in the city lights tonight Verse 2: Tried to order sweet tea, they looked at me funny Parking costs more than I make in a week, honey Everybody's got their face stuck to a phone Making me miss that holler back home Chorus: I'm lost in the city lights, don't know left from right Where's the courthouse, where's the water tower? Used to know every face, now I'm lost in this place But I'm chasing that Nashville power Lost in the city lights tonight Bridge: Yeah, I stumble 'round, feelin' out of place The honky-tonks are loud, a blur of lights and bass But when I pick up this guitar and sing All these strangers start to feel like kin Maybe I ain't lost, maybe I'm just found In a different kind of small town Chorus (Key change): I'm lost in the city lights, but it feels alright Found my stage, found my tower Learning every face in this crazy place Chasing down that Nashville power Lost in the city lights tonight Lost in the city lights tonight Outro: City lights, city lights, shining down on me City lights, city lights, where I'm meant to be Lost in the city lights tonight
