Shoot For The City

I love to walk these streets

The ghost of my own childhood

It's the place where I was born

All my memories are here

There's a heart that beats so strong

It keeps me safe and warmer

And no matter where I go

I know I'll always come back home

Out in the night I can hear the voices calling

Out in the dark i can hear it more and more

I gotta shoot for the city

It's the place where I belong

I gotta shoot for the city

I can't stay away too long

I gotta shoot for the city

I'll never be alone

There's so much love round here

I gotta shoot for the city

I'll never be alone

There's nothing that I fear

My father spent his life here

Digging for the future

A man of great respect

But he never had a chance

I left when I was young

To seek out fame and fortune

I had to know what life was like

Out on the other side

Out in the night I can hear the voices calling

Out in the dark i can hear it more and more

I gotta shoot for the city

It's the place where I belong

I gotta shoot for the city

I can't stay away too long

I gotta shoot for the city

I'll never be alone

There's so much love round here

I gotta shoot for the city

I'll never be alone

There's nothing that I fear

The school where I was taught

That life was but a journey

A retired army officer, reminising about the war

The park where Sunday afternoons would last forever

And down at Johnny's place

Where we danced the summertime blues

Out in the night I can hear the voices calling

Out in the dark i can hear it more and more

I gotta shoot for the city

It's the place where I belong

I gotta shoot for the city

I can't stay away too long

I gotta shoot for the city

I'll never be alone

There's so much love round here

I gotta shoot for the city

I'll never be alone

There's nothing that I fear
