In the City

Written by Barry De Vorzon and Joe Walsh

Performed by The Eagles

Somewhere out on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city children
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) When you live from day to day
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) City streets don't have much pity no
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) When you're down that's where you'll stay...
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city (ah-ha...)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city (ah-ha...)
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty
No one's there catch you when you fall
Oh oh-oh
Somewhere out on that horizon
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Faraway from the neon sky
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) I know there must be somethin' must be somethin' better
(Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
And I can't stay another night
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city (ah-ha...)
Another night...
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city (ah-ha...)
Another night...
(Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city (ah-ha...)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city (ah-ha...)
