This City Lyrics

This city is big and bad

She can take all you had

She's fickle, ain't no doubt

She can chew you up, she can spit you out

This city is mean and tough

They think I ain't tough enough

Ain't no place for the faint of heart

She can knock you down, she can tear you apart

When I arrive, they told me "Son

You'd better turn around and run

This city broke bigger than you

What makes you think she won't do it to you?"

I said, I got the will and I got heart

Here's the important part

Deep inside I got love that burns

I know this city can love in return

People think I'll be takin' a fall

They think I'm a dreamer, that's all

But they don't see

I belong in this city

It fits a glove

Soon I'll be feeling her love

The face of the city

Will smile down on me

Smile on me

Looks like I'm here to stay

Never gonna go away

Nobody's gonna counts me out

Not if they know what they're talking about

This city, she shines for me

This city set me free

This city, she made me her own

I'm grateful for the love she's shown

People think that I'm lucky in love

Or they think it's grace from above

They don't see

I belong in this city

It fits a glove

So I'm feeling her love

The face of the city

Smiles down on me

Smiles on me

Smiles on me

It smiles on me
