The Big Smoke Blues Lyrics - Jerry Leger

Here comes the month's rent 

Now you ain't got nothing left 

This place won't let you choose 

I got the big smoke blues 

Some like to hang around 

They love it when you're kicked down 

It's a game only lovers lose 

I got the big smoke blues 

The fog is getting thick 

You were smart to split 

Get away from the scene's abuse 

I got the big smoke blues 

Sounds like murder on the street 

He fell to the singer's feet 

Was it someone that you knew 

Who had those big smoke blues 

Living on the east end 

Where I try and pretend 

You can hide but it's no use 

I got the big smoke blues 

Summer to fall in love 

Winter to mess it up 

Someone will help you through 

With those big smoke blues 

I got the big smoke blues
