Defeater
Singin' The New York Town
My savior, this city,My comfort, her pityOr so I hoped.My heartache, my hard luck,My war time, my struggleThat no one knows.In the allys where I sleepI beg and beg for the food I eatAll the pain and the hurtIn your gut where it burnsEvery man here is just like me.The wind blowing round the snowMakes a man freeze straight to the boneSo I drink and drink and I try not to thinkOf the people I lost at homeThese six strings I'm playingThese songs I'm singingKeep me alive.These strangersThat curse meThe heroThey don't seeJust waiting to dieSongtexteI ain't the man that I used to beI feel the city as it's crushing meI am losing ground on these empty streetsNew York town has got the best of meThe southern ground where my mamma sleepsShe found death and she found peaceThere's an empty grave next to where she layThat's where I'm supposed to be.I beg and I pleadFor her god to hear meHe's just a cowardJust a thiefI pray and I prayFor him to answer meI hear nothingI hear nothingI beg and I pleadFor her god to hear meI hear nothingNothing
