City Life

[ This one goes out to the north end ]

There is and old man with dirt on his hand

There's a room swept for the one night stands

A life full of regret in a rock and roll band

A whole lot a debt and a pocket full of sand

There is a sick mother, cant find a lost son

and there is a father, didn't know he had one

Run down caddy in the neighbors backyard

Where the kid got shot and it all fell apart

[chorus]

Just another day in the city life

Just another day where we live or die

We're all playing through the smoked-filled skies

Just another day in the city life

City life

There is a law man and he's losin his touch

Trapped a loose cannon, says he wont lose much

A prospect picked and he's earning his patch

Dealt a dirty deed and he's payin for it cash

Pressure so thick you forget how to breath

Gotta get drunk just to blow off some steam

So many lights but we're kept in the dark

Yeah, they could take it all but we still got heart

[chorus]

Just another day in the city life

Just another day where we live or die

We're all playing through the smoked-filled sky

Just another day in the city life

There is no need to be nervous

We were born to fight

Sons and daughters we can

Take it out side

Follow the lead, lead to me to water

Do what it takes, to take it from me

There aint nothing left

You can leave me my rights

Carry the Lord in the city life

[chorus]

Just another day in the city life

Just another day where we live or die

We're all playing through the smoked-filled sky (Smoke filled sky)

Just another day in the city life

Just another day in the city life (Do what it takes, to take it from me)

Just another day where we live or die (Carry the Lord in the City Life)

We're all playing through the smoked-filled sky

Just another day in the city life
