Ben Phillips - Wild City lyrics

[Verse 1] It's that time of the season, when the blood runs hot And God must have a reason when the temperature drops One more nameless baby and a momma in shame Not one of the fathers of the churches came [Chorus] For a motherless child in the wild, wild city It ain't no place for a girl so young and pretty A motherless child in the wild, wild city Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl [Verse 2] It could happen to me, it could happen to you It's the luck of the draw, it's the blow of the dice There ain't nothin' that you can do She took too many daddies, took too many home Tryna find the one, someone else's son She couldn't weather those streets alone [Chorus] For a motherless child in the wild, wild city It ain't no place for a girl, so young and pretty A motherless child in the wild, wild city Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl [Guitar solo] [Chorus] For a motherless child in the wild, wild city It ain't no place for a girl, so young and pretty A motherless child in the wild, wild city Cause the city ain't no place, no no The city ain't no place, no no The city ain't no place for a lonely girl
