Living For The City Lyrics - Texas

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... yeeaaahh His father works some days for fourteen hours 

You best believe he hardly makes a dollar 

His mother goes to scrub the floor for many 

And you can bet she hardly makes a penny 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 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 has to get up early 

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah Living for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living for the city, oooooh 

Living just enough 

Just enough 

Living just enough, just enough for the city 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Sister, you're just, you're just, you're just a kiss away, kiss away 

Sister, you're just, you're just, you're just a kiss away, kiss away 

Living just enough for the city, yeeeaaaah 

Just enough, just enough 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough... yeeeaaah 

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah
