the best group - life in the city 1920s lyrics
[verse 1]
train ride from the country side
to a new world, where the world’s so wide
oh i hope i make it
oh i hope i make it
rumor has it, life is great
in this haven, where the skies are scr-ped
oh this life i’m chasing
you know i’m gonna take it
[pre-chorus 1]
from corn stalks to concrete blocks so high and wide
from one face to every race alive, i’ve arrived
[chorus]
this city never sleeps
but this feels like a dream
where have i been all along?
these streetcars take you miles
these roofs lead to the skies
i don’t know if i belong
roads, they stretch the ends of earth
you can go, but this town’s my whole world
it’s 1923
the city calls for me
i’m never going home
[verse 2]
this nightlife, the bohemian style
it’s a big jump, but i’ll take that stride
don’t fret, i will make it
don’t fret, i will make it
back home, i was never alone
because i’m a girl and the men take the throne
gl-ss ceilings, i’ll break it
working hard to make it
[pre-chorus 2]
from movie stars to fancy cars, they shine so bright
from subway stops to corner shops at midnight, this life is mine
[chorus]
this city never sleeps
but this feels like a dream
where have i been all along?
these streetcars take you miles
these roofs lead to the skies
i don’t know if i belong
roads, they stretch the ends of earth
you can go, but this town’s my whole world
it’s 1924
i’ll stay for so much more
i don’t want to go home
[bridge]
train ride out of the city
my mama’s begging me to come home
my father wants me to move back and help with cleaning
but all i want to do is go
[chorus]
this city never sleeps
but this feels like a dream
where have i been all along?
these streetcars take you miles
these roofs lead to the skies
i don’t know if i belong
roads, they stretch the ends of earth
you can go, but this town’s my whole world
it’s 1925
i’m building a new life
i’ll call this place my home
