Livin For The City - Jonny Lang

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

Surrounded by four walls

That ain't so pretty

His parents give him

Love and affection

To keep him strong

Moving in the right direction

Living just enough

Just enough for the city

His father works some days

For fourteen hours

And you can bet he

Barely makes a dollar

His mother goes to scrub

The floors for many

And you'd best believe

She hardly gets a penny

Living just enough

Just enough for the city

Yeah

His sister's black but

She is sho nuff pretty

Her skirt is short

But Lord her legs are sturdy

To walk to school

She's got to get up early

Her clothes are old

But never are they dirty

Living just enough

Just enough for the city

Her brother's smart

He's got more sense than many

His patience's long but

Soon he won't have any

To find a job is

Like a haystack needle

Cause where he lives

They don't use black people

Living just enough

Just enough for the city

Living just enough

For the city

Living just enough

For the city

Living just enough

For the city

Living just enough

For the city

Living just enough

For the city

For the smoking crzy

City yeah

Living For the city

For the city
