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
