You were sleeping on a side walk
Living on a road
Living on a road
That's from where you started
Don't forget that hunger
'Cause that road
Is the way back home
You were fighting for a sidewalk
That you called your own
That you called your own
You got all the money
But you are no longer
Living in
Living in
In the city
Where the lights were just
Bright enough,
And the walls and the smells
Always kept you,
On the ground,
On the ground.
In the city
With nothing to lose
And hoping to win,
You were living in,
Living in, living
In the city
Lots of people from the sidewalk
Are in the hall of fame
In the hall of fame.
They've never forgotten
Where they all got started
'Cause they know
It's the way back home
You were dreaming on the sidewalk
Fighting for your name
Fighting for your name
You got all the money
But you are no longer
Living in
Living in
In the city
Where the lights were just
Bright enough,
And the walls and the smells
Always kept you,
On the ground,
On the ground.
In the city
With nothing to lose
And hoping to win,
You were living in,
Living in, living
In the city
