    Big City (Merle Haggard album)

    Big City is the 33rd studio album by Merle Haggard, released in 1981. It was his debut on the Epic label after ending his association with MCA. Big City peaked at number three on the Billboard Country Album charts and number 161 on the Pop Album charts. It was an RIAA-certified Gold album.

    Background

    After five years at MCA Records, Haggard jumped to Epic in 1982, and the move appeared to spark his creativity; he wrote or co-wrote eight of the LP's twelve tracks, including its two #1 singles, "Big City" and "My Favorite Memory." Haggard entered the studio with his band the Strangers and his mentor Lewis Talley and, in a two-day marathon recording session, produced enough songs for this release, plus Haggard’s 1982 LP, Going Where the Lonely Go. Many of the songs on Big City explore the struggle of the working man amid the complexities and challenges of urban life and aging.

    The other single release, “Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver),” peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and also won the Academy of Country Music 1982 Song of the Year.

    Big City

    by: Operation Ivy

    Concrete and chaos rise up
    Spiderweb across the land
    Like a giant rash
    Forests lie down below
    Foundations of buildings in a bed of ash
    Some people here got it real good
    Cuz the glass towers bring prosperity
    Other people starve in the street
    Because concrete knows no sympathy
    Big city its a wishing well
    Big city its a living hell
    This town its fucking insane
    How one will starve and another will gain
    Like a giant mechanical brain
    And the people are cells and the streets are veins
    It thinks only of itself
    A thousand limbs crawling as it expands and grows
    And still the concrete sits there
    Sits there stark grey and cold
    And I think I wanna be a brick layer
    So I can put another brick in the wall
    Its sanitary rational happy and sane
