Street Walker
(Robbie Robertson)
Sightseer in the middle of the night
I’m looking for action, something real tight But can you make it when we turn on the lights Of the city
Street walker in the middle of the day Been up all night trying to earn your pay Mama told you when you ran away
It’s not easy, There’s no pity, In the city I’ve been on this corner so long
But it’s no one’s guess who’s the next one But before you know it, it’ll be gone
But I ain’t complaining, don’t get me wrong It’s not easy, In the city
Street walker in the middle of your life Every day is like shooting dice
You carry yourself like you carry a knife
In the city
Fast talker in the middle of the street Trying to hustle everyone that you meet Sooner or later everybody gets beat
It’s not easy, There’s no pity, In the city
