You Belong to the City

Written by Glenn Frey and Jack Tempchin

Performed by Glenn Frey

The sun goes down the night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls

You're out of your room and down on the street
You can feel the crowds in the midnight heat
The traffic roars the sirens scream
Look at the faces it's just like a dream

Nobody knows where you're going
Nobody cares where you've been

'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light

You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the street

When you said goodbye you were on the run
Tryin' to get away from the things you'd done
Now you're back again and you're feeling strange
So much has happened but nothing has changed

Still don't know where you're going
You're still just a face in the crowd

You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light

You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your blood, it's in your moves
For a man of the streets

You can feel it
You can taste it
You can see it
You can face it
You can hear it
You're getting near it
You're wanna make it
'Cause you can take it

You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong
You belong
