Answer 1

Artist: Eagles
Album: Long Run
Title: In The City


Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city

I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And i can't stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city

Answer 2

Here you are, glad to oblige,

In the City Lyrics
Artist(Band):Eagles

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
but there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity, no
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In the city, Ah huh oh, oh
In the city Ah huh

I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
In the city, Ah huh oh, oh.
In the city, Ah huh oh, oh, another night
In the city, Ah huh oh, oh.
In the city, Ah huh oh, oh,
