Dirty City (feat. Eric Clapton) Lyrics


A gangster came to see by boy
When I was working nights to pay one more bill
He promised the kid a sweeter life
Said, "Gotta understand it's dog eat dog out there"Well, I looked in his room when I got home
And underneath the covers found a loaded gun
He looked at me with empty eyes
He said, "It's time for me to be moving on"Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher groundI spoke to my woman the other day
She said, "I need more cash, we can't pay our way"
She said, "Everything gets really hard
And I need something sweet, don't you understand?"The roar of the train runs by my room
And on these summer nights I can't sleep anymore
I walk in the streets to greet the dawn
Or stay at home all night and stare at the floorDirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher groundDirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher groundHelp me now, move on to a higher ground
Help somehow, make a move to a higher ground
Won't you help somehow? Make a move to higher ground

Won't you help somehow? I need a little helpDirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher groundDirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher groundDirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher groundDirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
