Living For The City - Ike & Tina Turner/David Newman
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 ee ha
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 yeah

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 um hum

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 colored people

Living just enough just enough for the city
