Lyrics

A sightseer in the middle of the night
Looking for action, something real tight
But you can't make it when they turn on the lights of the city
A streetwalker in the middle of the day
Been up all night trying to earn your pay
Your mother told you when you ran away
That it's not easy
There's no pity
In the city
I've been on this corner so long
But it's no one's guess who's the next bum
But before you know it, it'll be gone
But I ain't complaining, don't get me wrong
It's not easy
In the city
A streetwalker in the middle of your life
Every day is like shooting dice
But you carry yourself like you carry a knife in the city
A fast talker in the middle of the street
Trying to hustle everyone that you meet
Sooner or later, everybody gets beat
It's not easy
There's no pity
In the city
Written by: Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson
