Living for the City |
| A boy is born in hard time Mississippi |
| Surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty |
| His parents give him love and affection |
| To keep him strong movin' in the right direction |
| Living just enough, just enough for the city |
| His sister’s black but she is sure not pretty |
| Her skirt is short, but oh, her legs are sturdy |
| To go to school she’s got to get up early |
| Her clothes are old but never are they dirty |
| Living just enough, just enough for the city |
| His father works some days for fourteen hours |
| And you’d best believe it, he hardly makes a dollar |
| His mother goes to scrub the floors for many |
| And you’d better believe it, she hardly gets a penny |
| Living just enough, just enough for the city |
| Living just enough for the city |
| Living just enough for the city (I can hardly pay my bills) |
| Living just enough for the city (torn clothes are on my back) |
| Living just enough for the city (often got no place to sleep) |
| Living just enough for the city (hey, and no food to eat) |
| Living just enough for the city (they try to survive in the city) |
| Living just enough for the city (they try to survive in the city) |
| Living just enough for the city (they try to survive) |
| Living just enough for the city (hey, hey, in the city) |
| Living just enough for the city (oh, oh, yeah in this city) |
| Living just enough for the city (I, I, I…) |
| Living just enough for the city (I, I’m living) |
| Living just enough for the city (you don’t know I’m living) |
| Living just enough for the city (I'm living, I’m living, I’m living) |
| Living just enough for the city (I'm living, I’m living, I’m living) |
| Living just enough for the city (I'm living, I’m living, I’m living) |
| Living just enough for the city (in the city, yes I am) |
| Yee-ha! |
| Yes-ah, get your hands together and help me |
| I’ve been living through the city |
| It sounds mighty good, yes it does |
| Oh, ohh! |
| Yee-hee, wanna survive in the city |
| I’ve got to live in the city |
| I wanna live in the city |
| Mmm, yeah, oh! |
| Oh yeah! |
| Help me survive in the city |
| Help me, help me, help me, oh! |
| I’ve got to live in the city |
| Hee-hee… |
