《Living for the City》歌词

[00:00:00] Living for the City - The Associated Soul Group

[00:00:11] 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

[00:00:28] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:00:38] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:00:42] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

[00:00:47] His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

[00:00:51] And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny

[00:00:55] Living just enough just enough for the city yeah

[00:01:20] His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty

[00:01:24] Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy

[00:01:29] To walk to school she's got to get up early

[00:01:33] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

[00:01:37] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:01:46] Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many

[00:01:50] His patience's long but soon he won't have any

[00:01:55] To find a job is like a haystack needle

[00:01:59] 'Cause where he lives they don't use colored people

[00:02:03] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:02:36] Living just enough

[00:02:39] Living just enough

[00:02:40] Living just enough

[00:02:43] Living just enough for the city

[00:02:46] Living just enough

[00:02:49] Living just enough

[00:02:52] Living just enough

[00:02:53] Living just enough

[00:02:57] Living just enough for the city

[00:02:59] Living just enough

[00:03:02] Living just enough

[00:03:04] Oh is not

[00:03:06] Living just enough

[00:03:09] Living just enough for the city

[00:03:11] Living just enough
