Living For The City

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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