Texty: Gary Moore. Grinding Stone. Time To Heal.

Well, I came into the city
with a swansuit on my back.
I didn't have no place to live,
I didn't even have a country shack.
I didn't have no money,
didn't even have a place to go.
Just one thing on my mind,
I'm gonna tell you so you know.

I've been hurt so bad now,
couldn't know the way I feel.
Well, I tell you,
I've been hurt so bad,
gonna take a long, long time to heal.

Well, I got myself a woman,
then I proved myself a man.
Got myself a place to live,
gonna do the best I can.
Got myself some money,
even got myself a place to go.
One thing on my mind,
I'm gonna tell you so you know.

Well, I've been hurt so bad now,
you couldn't know the way I feel.
No, no.
I've been hurt so bad,
gonna take a long, long time to heal.

Well, I stand and fall, kickin' round.
Lord, I've been thrown out of every place, yeah.

One thing I gotta do,
got to sing my song to you
before my dyin' day.
That's right.

Hooh.

Well, I've been stoopin', fallin', I've been kicked around.
Lord, I've been thrown out of every place.
Ah, just one thing I gotta do,

before my dyin' day.
Yeah.

Yeah, ah, hooh.
Let me tell you,

Said I've been living in the city, yeah.
