Big City Stripper
Cory Morrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a waitress right now in some rundown Mickey-Mouse town
But on weekends she's a big city striptease
Now she looks pretty sleek and for a dollar a peek
You can make her acquaintance and then leave

Her papa, he don't know, his little baby takes off her clothes
He don't ever ask how she pays the rent
Yeah, but I go to see her dance at just about every chance
And she leaves me with a feeling it was money well spent

She's a big city stripper and all the cowboys love to tip her
Spendin' their lives in a velvet seat
Five dollars a beer, good gosh, I never-ever want to leave here
She's my big city stripper and I think she's in love with me

Now her life's a sordid wreck, she seldom gets any respect
Yeah, but she's only doing what she loves the most
And my loving her is a task 'cause she's always showing off her class
And she's what all men want from coast to coast

Now, I've spent the last ten years just trying to face my fears
Worried about what all my friends might say
Yeah, but it's kinda fun to dream, I just kick back and drink
I watch her dance and see my troubles stripped away

She's a big city stripper and all the cowboys love to tip her
Spendin' their lives in a velvet seat
Five dollars a beer, good gosh, I never-ever want to leave here
She's my big city stripper and I think she's in love with me





She's a waitress right now in some rundown Mickey-Mouse town
On the weekends she's a big city striptease

Overall Meaning

"Big City Stripper" by Cory Morrow tells the story of a small-town waitress who, on weekends, trades in her apron for a different kind of outfit and becomes a stripper in the big city. Despite the fact that her father is unaware of how she makes her rent money, the singer of the song has no qualms about visiting her in the club and spending his money. He is aware that her life is not glamorous, but he loves her anyway and enjoys watching her dance because it helps him forget about his own problems for a while.


The song explores the dichotomy between small-town life and the fast-paced, exciting world of the big city. The waitress leading a double life represents the idea that there is always more going on beneath the surface than what is immediately apparent. The line "she's only doing what she loves the most" could be seen as a nod to the idea that people should be allowed to pursue their passions even if they are unconventional or frowned upon by society.


Overall, "Big City Stripper" is a story about acceptance and love. The singer of the song does not judge the waitress for her profession, nor does he try to change her. Instead, he loves and accepts her for who she is, even though their worlds are vastly different.
