steve winwood - dirty city lyrics
a gangster came to see by boy
when i was working nights to pay one more bill
he promised the kid a sweeter life
said, “gotta understand it’s dog eat dog out there”
well, i looked in his room when i got home
and underneath the covers found a loaded gun
he looked at me with empty eyes
he said, “it’s time for me to be moving on”
dirty city, this is a dirty town
where’s the pity, i can’t move on up to higher ground
i spoke to my woman the other day
she said, “i need more cash, we can’t pay our way”
she said, “everything gets really hard
and i need something sweet, don’t you understand?”
the roar of the train runs by my room
and on these summer nights i can’t sleep anymore
i walk in the streets to greet the dawn
or stay at home all night and stare at the floor
dirty city, this is a dirty town
where’s the pity, i can’t move on up to higher ground
dirty city, this is a dirty town
where’s the pity, i can’t move on up to higher ground
help me now, move on to a higher ground
help somehow, make a move to a higher ground
won’t you help somehow? make a move to higher ground
won’t you help somehow? i need a little help
dirty city, this is a dirty town
where’s the pity, i can’t move on up to higher ground
dirty city, this is a dirty town
where’s the pity, i can’t move on up to higher ground
dirty city, this is a dirty town
where’s the pity, i can’t move on up to higher ground
dirty city, this is a dirty town
where’s the pity, i can’t move on up to higher ground
