Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He would swear by his mouth, almighty

[Verse 2]

I was livin' in a world of make believe

When my best friend wrote and told me

That there may be a job in the city

I was livin' in a world of make believe

When my best friend wrote and told me

That there may be a job in the city

And you never told me

[Verse 3]

He would dream about another scheme

About another sordid hall of dreams

About a man who followed endless dream

He would swear by his mouth, almighty

He would buy the best, but never somethin' new

And he never told me

[Verse 4]

I like kickin' in the gutter

And a-wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

Oh, I like kickin' in the gutter

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

[Verse 5]

It's the only life I know

Lie, lie, lie, is all you ever do

To make me wanna push on through

Cry, cry, cry, is all I ever do

Say you wanna make me push on through

[Verse 6]

I like kickin' in the gutter

And a-wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

I like kickin' in the gutter

Wishing I was lucky, I was wishing I was lucky

Ooh-oh, livin' in the gutter

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

[Verse 7]

It's the only life I know

My best friend wrote and told me so

He said that there may be a job in the city

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, baby

[Verse 8]

Oh, I like kickin' in the gutter

And a-wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

Oh, I like kickin' in the gutter

Wishing I was lucky, I was wishing I was lucky

Livin' in the gutter

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

[Verse 9]

Hey, son, go

Hey, son, go to the city

Hey, son, go

Hey, son, go to the city

Hey, son, go

Hey, son, go to the city

Hey, son, go

Hey, son, go to the city
