Lyrics
Lets ride from the City
Lets ride from this misery
Waking up - glad to be alive
Oh brother gotta stay alive
Life is just not for the unwise
Hey get up and you can strive
Move on get on down
Strength in soul
like the falling man
Lets ride from the city
Lets ride from this misery
Lets ride from this city
Lets ride from this misery
Get paid $2.55 - gotta stay alive
wonder what is going to save me
Down in the gutter
Nothing really matter
Down in the gutter
Nothing really matter
Lets ride from the city
Lets ride from this misery
Lets ride from this city
Lets ride from this misery
(break)
Dreams are made for baby
Many think were crazy
Dreams are made for baby
Well, Many think were crazy
Lets ride from the city
Lets ride from this misery
Lets ride from this city
Lets ride from this misery
Lets ride from this city
