Dirty City
Lyricist:Peter Godwin, Steve Winwood
A gangster came to see by boy When I was working nights to pay one more bill He promised the kid a sweeter life Said, 'Gotta understand it's dog eat dog out there'
Well, I looked in his room when I got home And underneath the covers found a loaded gun He looked at me with empty eyes He said, 'It's time for me to be moving on'
Dirty city, this is a dirty town Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
I spoke to my woman the other day She said, 'I need more cash, we can't pay our way' She said, 'Everything gets really hard And I need something sweet, don't you understand?'
The roar of the train runs by my room And on these summer nights I can't sleep anymore I walk in the streets to greet the dawn Or stay at home all night and stare at the floor

Help me now, move on to a higher ground Help somehow, make a move to a higher ground Won't you help somehow? Make a move to higher ground Won't you help somehow? I need a little help
Dirty city, this is a dirty town Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
