City Streets Never Sleep (wersja 2)

Verse

Corner store lights hum low like a lullaby

Cigarette smoke driftin' out into the sky

Pigeons on the ledge watchin' me walk by

Same streets I've been ridin' since I was nine

Every fire hydrant got its own little rhyme

City's still sleepin', but I'm wide awake at night

Chorus

City streets never sleep, neither do I

Concrete keeps it honest, don't need no lie

I write these bars on receipts in the dark

City streets never sleep, leave me feelin' smart

Verse

Taxi horn rings out like a late-night bell

Sirens in the distance, but they ain't for me to tell

Old man sittin' on the stoop with his newspaper folded up tight

Tellin' stories 'bout the blocks when he was younger tonight

I nod along like I been there myself

City never forgets your name, even if you try to stealth

Chorus

City streets never sleep, neither do I

Concrete keeps it honest, don't need no lie

I write these bars on receipts in the dark

City streets never sleep, leave me feelin' smart

Outro

Same streets every night, same rhythm, same view

City's still hummin', so I'm keepin' my dues
