Mama, I am leaving
To get us out of this misery
I will find myself a ride
And then try it in the city
Get a job and send you money
So you pay the rent
if we stay here and don't try it
We could break or we could bend
City lights shining bright
All we do is just wake up and fight
Everyday, of my life
Makes me feel like I'm ready to die
Mister, please can't you see
That this job could set me free
City lights shine bright on me
City life, city life please set me free
Daddy, I know you' re dying
If no one will heal your pain
In the city I'll find a doctor
And I' ll send you back a cure
Concrete jungle, racing cars
City skies don't have no stars
Feeling tired, I wear a frown
City life will bring me down
City lights shining bright
All we do is just wake up and fight
Everyday, of my life
Makes me feel like I'm ready to die
Mister, please can't you see
That this job could set me free
City life please set me free
City lights
City lights shine bright on me
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah
City lights shining bright
All we do is just wake up and fight
Everyday, of my life
Makes me feel like I'm ready to die
Mister, please can't you see
That this job could set me free
City lights shine bright on me
City life, city life please set me free
City lights
City lights shine bright on me
