"Hot And Dirty In The City" lyrics

Hot and dirty in the city
Just bummin' around and being free
It ain't so easy being free
When you're tired and hungry on the street
Mr Policeman says "now move it, son
Don't let me catch you around here no more"
Standin' there with his hand on his gun
Looking for more

Try to remember just what it was like
When you had some kinda place to go
Try to remember but it's just too long ago

Hot and dirty in the city
The way to heaven is in defeat
Nightime sequence down at the mission hall
You get religion and there you eat
Missionary ladies with their charitable smiles
You know they really mean you a lot a good
Only trouble is they got to get on home
I wish I could

Try to remember just what it was like
When you had some kinda pride to show
Try to remember but it's just too long ago

I don't wanna die here in the city
I don't really wanna die at all
Just wanna find a big, fine lady and fall
Everybody's a hobo in the city
Everybody's down and out
Gimme a dollar, mister
I'll show you about

Try to remember just what it was like
When you knew just what you wanted to do
Try to remember then join me in the blue
Try to remember just what it was like
When you knew exactly what you wanted to do
Try to remember then join me in the blue
