Life in the City (Bluenote Café)

[Verse 1]
People sleepin' on the sidewalks on a rainy day
Families living under freeways, it's the American way
Starving in the city while the farm goes to seed
Murder in the home and crime on the streets

[Chorus]
Don't that trouble you, brother?
Don't that trouble you, pal?
Don't that kill you, sister?
Well, that's life in the city

[Verse 2]
All our old hangouts are boarded up and closed
Or being sold to someone, nobody knows
I got a woman that loves me and I love her so
She's all dressed up now with nowhere to go

[Chorus]
Don't that trouble you, brother?
Don't that trouble you, pal?
Don't that trouble you, sister?
Well, that's life in the city

[Verse 3]
Yeah, listen to me people, hear what I have to say
Ever since I was knee high, I rocked my blues away
People sleepin' on the sidewalks, families in need
Murder in the home and crime on the streets

[Chorus]
Don't that trouble you, brother?
Don't that trouble you, pal?
Don't that kill you, sister?
Well, that's life in the city
