《Living For The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Living For The City - Ike & Tina Turner/David Newman (大卫·纽曼)

[00:00:11] A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

[00:00:16] Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

[00:00:21] His parents give him love and affection

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

[00:00:30] Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha

[00:00:40] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:00:45] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

[00:00:50] His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

[00:00:54] And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny

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

[00:01:25] His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty

[00:01:29] Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy

[00:01:34] To walk to school she's got to get up early

[00:01:39] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

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

[00:01:54] Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many

[00:01:59] His patience's long but soon he won't have any

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

[00:02:08] Cause where he lives they don't use colored people

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