lyrics

City Lights
(Pat Alger)

Rosie cross the Rio Grande
IN the middle of the night she swam
All that she carried
Was in a plain cloth sack
Headed for the promise land
Never coming back

Friends and family stayed behind
To hauls the crops at harvest time
The think about Rosie
And all those nights
She went lookin’ for
The City Lights

To see those..
City Lights
Shining in her eyes
Beaming down like Christmas lights
Under California skies
And when the sun goes down
And her dreams begin to fade
She want’s those city lights
To help her find way..

Times were hard
And the jobs were few
And the city life was so brand new
And down in the Barios
Good times were hard to find
So they watched her
As up that hill she climbed

To see those..
City Lights
Shining in her eyes
Their beaming down like Christmas lights
Under California skies
And when the sun goes down
And her dreams begin to fade
She want’s those city lights
To help her find way.

And Rosie never wants
Those dreams to fade away
She wants to save those dreams
For a sunny day

And when the sun goes down
And her dreams begin to fade..
She got those city lights
She needs those city lights
Oh She wants those city light
To help her find way...

In an over saturated world of “bro-country”, country outlaw wannabes, JB has remained true to the roots of his musical past. JBs music has been described as an in your face, southern country, roots rock, from the southern heartland. ... more
