Rough town
        1994(B. Adams / J. Valance)


        Hot night in the city streets
        Old papers blowin' 'round my feet
        Some dude's got heis eyes on you
        Better walk quickly down the avenue
        Somewhere somebody's baby cries
        A new heart beats as another one dies

        It ain't easy but you live and learn
        If you don't get what you want
        You might get what you deserve

        It's a rough town
        You give it all just to live in fear
        No refuge no place to run
        Talkin' 'bout a rough town
        Gotta find a way to get outta here
        Ain't no way around it
        It's a rough town

        Cold dawn comes with the break of day
        Morning sky turns gun metal grey
        From an upstairs window there's a woman scream
        A nightmare vision from some junkes dream
        An angry fist beatin' on an old steel door
        Tell me why you here
        Who are you lookin' for?

        It ain't easy but it ain't for long
        This place is crazy
        Tell me,  hey, where did things go wrong?

        It's a rough town
        Middle of the night and the street's alive
        It's a gamble it's a chance you take
        Talkin' 'bout a rough town
        Gonna turn your world inside out
        Call it what you want but
        It's a rough town

        2 a.m. I can't get to sleep
        I bin lyin' here on these sweat-stained sheets
        Beneath my window the city crawls
        It's a rat race outside these walls, Oh Yeah !

        It's a rough town
        You give it all just to live in fear
        No refuge no place to run
        Gotta find a way to get outta here
        Ain't no way around it
        It's a rough town

        It's a rough town
        Middle of the night and the street's alive
        It's a gamble it's a chance you take
        Talkin' 'bout a rough town
        Gonna turn your world inside out
        Call it what you want but
        It's a rough town
