City Life

There's a young man with dirt on his hands There's a room of sweat, full on one night stands A life of regret in a rock and roll band There's a whole lot of debt and a pocket full of sand There's a sick mother, can't find her lost son And there's a father who didn't know he had one run down caddy In The neighbors backyard Where the kid got shot and it all fell apart Just another day in the city life Just another day where we live or die We're all praying through the smoke filled sky Just another day in the city life There's a law man and he's losing his touch Trapped a loose cannon says he won't lose much A prospect picked and he's earning his patch Dealt a dirty deed and it's paid for in cash The pressure's so thick you forget how the breathe Gotta get drunk just to blow off some steam So many lights but we're kept in the dark Yeah, they can take it all but we still got heart Just another day in the city life Just another day where we live or die We're all praying through the smoke filled sky Just another day in the city life There's no need to be nervous We're born to fight Sons and daughter we can Take it outside Follow the lead, lead me to water Do what it takes then take it from me When there ain't nothing left You can read me my rights Carry the load in the city life Just another day in the city life Just another day where we live or die We're all praying through the smoke filled sky Just another day in the city life Just another day in the city life Just another day where we live or die We're all praying through the smoke filled sky Just another day in the city life
