Bonnie Tyler - Living For The City Lyrics

A boy is born in Hardtime Mississippi 
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty 
His parents give him love and affection 
To keep him strong, movin' in the right direction 
Living just enough, just enough for the city, Yeah 

His father works some days for fourteen hours 
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar 
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many 
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny 
Living just enough, just enough for the city 

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's got to get up early 
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty 
Living just enough, just enough for the city 

Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many 
His patience's long, but soon he won't have any 
To find a job is like a haystack needle, 'cause 
Where he lives, they don't use coloured people 
Living just enough, just enough for the city 
Living just enough for the city
