Heart of the City Lyrics

(Dr. Richard Peddicord)

 My mama told me when I was born

 She said the city is gonna be your soil

 Raise all eight children

 Work all your life

 Pray you don't die by some stranger's knife.

 

 

 You're living in the heart

 Yeah, the heart of the city

 Yeah!

 

 

 We all live on that city floor

 Winos, widows, hags, and whores

 You butcher bankers and you millionaires

 We all know what goes on down there.

 

 

 You're living in the heart

 Yeah, the heart of the city

 You're living in the heart

 Yeah, the heart of the city.

 

 

 Things get tough, I just don't care

 I let the night time take me anywhere

 Yeah, take me anywhere, I don't care, no.

 

 

 Things get rough, I just don't care

 I let the night time take me anywhere

 No, take me downtown, take me to the heart of the city, baby.

 

 

 No, you tell in your cold slip

 Your mind has snapped and your heart goes in

 You know it's real and it ain't no shit

 When you get down to the heart of it.

 

 

 You're living in the heart

 Yeah, the heart of the city

 Yeah baby, go down to the heart

 Yeah, the heart of the city

 OW!

 You're living in the heart

 Yeah, the heart of the city

 Straight from the heart

 Straight from the heart of the cityyyyyyyy!
