Version 1 Version 2Big City Written by Merle Haggard and Dean Holloway c 1981 Shade Tree Music Performed by Merle Haggard [Intro] E A E B E [Verse 1] E A I'm tired of this dirty old city. E B Entirely too much work and never enough play. E A And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks. E B E Think I'll walk off my steady job today. [Chorus] E A E Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana. B And gimme all I got comin' to me, E A E And keep your retirement and your so called social security. B E Big City turn me loose and set me free. [Break] E A E B E [Verse 2] E A Been workin' everyday since I was twenty. E B Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've done. E A There's folks who never work and they've got plenty. E B E Think it's time some guys like me had some fun. So [Chorus] E A E Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana. B And gimme all I got comin' to me, E A E And keep your retirement and your so called social security. B E Big City turn me loose and set me free. [Outro] B E Hey, Big City turn me loose and set me free.
