Born on a high wire singin' to me.
Let me out of this town.
Cries from the beggars and the in-betweens.
Let me out of this town.
Sun burns hotter than it's done before.
Let me out of this town.
Boys on the block shouting civil war.
Let me out of this town.
Me I ain't nothing but a native son.
Lords still a change that may never come.
Stay with me Jody just one more night.
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Down at the city humming the same old sound.
Let me out of this town.
Careful not the favors and their passing 'em round.
Let me out of this town.
Like the dime store dealers they're all one and the same.
Let me out of this town.
They're standin' on the corner calling your name.
Let me out of this town.
Me ain't nothing but a sinners sin.
Lords still a change that may never come.
Stay with me Jody just one more night.
Hold on tight.
Hold on tight.
*Musical Interlude*
Dead in the street alone and cold.
Fighting off a fever that will steal your soul.
Never had nothing in this high-rise world.
Don't take my heart, don't take my girl.
Born on a high-wire singin' to me.
Let me out of this town-out of this town-let me out of this town.
*Musical interlude*
Let me out of this-out of this town-let me out of this town.
Let me out of this town-out of this town-let me out of this town
Let me out of this town-out of this
Town-out of this town-let me out of this town.
