《Living For The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Living For The City

[00:00:10] A boy is born in hard time mississippi

[00:00:15] Surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty

[00:00:20] His parents give him love and affection

[00:00:25] To keep him strong moving in the right direction

[00:00:29] Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha

[00:00:39] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:00:44] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

[00:00:49] His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

[00:00:53] And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny

[00:00:58] Living just enough just enough for the city yeah

[00:01:26] His sister’s black but she is sho’nuff pretty

[00:01:30] Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy

[00:01:35] To walk to school she’s got to get up early

[00:01:40] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

[00:01:44] Living just enough just enough for the city um hum

[00:01:55] Her brother’s smart he’s got more sense than many

[00:02:00] His patience’s long but soon he won’t have any

[00:02:04] To find a job is like a haystack needle

[00:02:09] Cause where he lives they don’t use colored people

[00:02:13] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:02:51] Living just enough For the city
