From the recording The Handsome Years
Lyrics
A country music station is humming
It’s a quarter past four in the morning
my cigarette stands at half mast
there’s some beer in my glass
and in Nashville the hits just keep coming
and all the stars in the sky shine like my baby’s eyes
in Big Medicine City tonight
Angel’s tears fall from heaven like payment
they glitter like diamonds out on the pavement
the guy on the radio said someone’s stolen the day
and nobody saw which way that he went
but my baby’s blowin’ a fuse on all of those blues
in Big Medicine City tonight
Sprinkle stardust over my eyelids
sweep all the devils off of my porch
listening to something Hank Williams wrote
has left my soul with a radial scorch
but my baby knows she’s the best, it’s tattooed on my chest
in Big Medicine City tonight
