《Livin’ For The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Living For The City - Ike Turner/Tina Turner (蒂娜·特纳)

[00:00:10] A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

[00:00:15] Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

[00:00:20] His parents give him love and affection

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

[00:00:29] Living just enough

[00:00:32] Just enough for the city

[00:00:39] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:00:44] And you can believe that he barely makes a dollar

[00:00:49] His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

[00:00:53] And you can best she hardly makes a penny

[00:00:58] Living just enough

[00:01:01] Just enough for the city

[00:01:24] 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 dirty

[00:01:44] Living just enough

[00:01:46] Just enough for the city

[00:01:53] 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

[00:02:15] Just enough for the city

[00:02:22] Ohhhhhh ah

[00:02:28] Ahhhhhh yeah

[00:02:38] Cause living just enough

[00:02:42] Cause they ain't yet enough

[00:03:07] Gonna take their children speel their hole
