Mark Heard City Life Won't Let Up
[Verse 1]
Streetwise tough guys strutting on the boulevard
Cold steel knife blade talking for a cold steel heart
The day goes on, the darkness creeps up like a storm
[Chorus]
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
[Verse 2]
Steel boned high-rise growing from the ground below
Hard hat hammer crew beating to the radio
Vertical guns, the skyscrapers shoot at the sun
[Chorus]
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
[Verse 3]
Half baked traffic snake creeping in the evening sun
Clogged up fast lane clears and the day is done
Everyone's gone - some went to Hell, some went home
[Chorus - Outro]
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
City life won't let up while you're waiting for the light to change
