Big city take a chance on me
Now it don't show but I know you can see
I'm gonna make it this time around

Felt my spirit it was choking my soul
You know it gave me a feeling like a burning coal
And said Lady, you're moving too slow

That movin' feelin' wouldn't let me be
Now this old city got a hold on me
But I'm gonna make it this time around

No peace I've found
You don't want me around
Can't somebody see?
I got the magic in me

I'm just a poor girl with nowhere to go
But I can make you move down slow
And I'm gonna make it this time around

Mama's in the jailhouse, Papa's at the bar
Oh how'd your baby ever stray so far?
I'm gonna make it this time around

Rock on the mountain I was movin' with the sea
Took a mighty big city to make a fool outta me
But I'm gonna make it this time around
