Big City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To late to go back home
Stranded in the streets
Sweating in the heat
Don't care to be a star
Poundin on the door
Sleepin on the floor
Big city, ain;t to pretty
Big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pitty
Big city, its one big crowd
No chance to make the big time
I've been workin hard
Got to take it far
No love along the way
I've been movin fast
Got to make it last
Big city, ain;t to pretty
Big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pitty
Big city, its one big crowd
They say no, no, no
Everywhere I go
But I'm gonna win
Agains the odds
And my flaws
Here in the city of sin, in the city of sin
I've got to get ahead
Too many sceams,
Too many dreams
I got to be somebody
Got to bleed for the things I need
Big city, ain;t to pretty
Big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pitty
Big city, its one big crowd
Big city, ain;t to pretty
Big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pitty
Big city, its one big crowd
