I got a vision, a teenage daughter Who's growing up naked in the afternoon I know a brother close to his mother Who stays out late in the evening time I keep repeating, it takes a beating To grow up naked in the afternoon You are a cowboy if you wear those boots You are a cowboy when you wear those boots [3x] Big time in the city [4x] I got a letter I read in the paper It said a man was shot to death It said a cow gave poison milk Big time in the city when you wear those boots I keep repeating, it takes a beating To wear those boots in the afternoon You call it a question You call it a color I got a letter I think it's a vision Big time in the city I got a vision I know a brother close to his mother After the morning You've had your rest Well I got a letter You are a cowboy Big time in the city Time to go naked in the afternoon Take off your hat, take off your coat Big time in the city You've had your rest I got a letter You are a cowboy Read in the paper Big time in the city It's time to go naked in the afternoon
