Country music singer and songwriter Pat James

Born in the heart of the American West, he grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with an appreciation for the land, its people and the country western music that is an integral part of the cowboy culture. Refreshingly different from the montage of "pop" singers dominating the country music scene today, Pat James remains true to the origins of the genre. His rich vocal style and skillful guitar playing has thrilled audiences in Phoenix and beyond.

Lyrics
City Lights, oh so bright Reaching for the heavens in the night Quite a sight, those city lights Making the moon seem full here every night But, I wonder how the stars feel Trying their best to glow Just like the real cowboy That's still here, but no one knows And I'm thinking while I'm driving And I check my rear view mirror The city sure looks prettier from here. Well, I make my home, among the sticks and stones To me it's the prettiest place I've ever known Where the ironwood grows, and the saguaro When it rains the creosote on the wind still blows But when the sun sinks low, in the West I know I'm gonna see the sky as God wished it to glow. And I know just how the stars feel As they so proudly glow Looking out in wonder At my Arizona home And I think each time I'm driving And I check my rear view mirror The city sure looks prettier from here. And though I know that objects may be closer than they appear The city still looks prettier from here
