I got no chance of makin' it, workin' downtown
Yeah, start the car baby, uh huh
It's been a long, hard road
And make our own road across the miles
This ain't no livin', this ain't no groove
Baby, start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no kinda livin' for an honest workin' man
The city's rich, we're dirt poor
Somewhere waitin', there's somethin' more, start the car, oh, yeah!
My love is livin' up on the hill singin' the white boy blues
The city's rich, we're dirt poor
Start the car, yeah
It's been a long, hard road
Yeah, start the car, we gotta move
There's people dyin' on the streets, they never make the news
Come on baby, drive it home, start the car
Start the car, we gotta move
Well, goin' out with dignity, goin' out with style
Start the car, baby
And walkin' slow and talkin' low, I'm tired of goin' down and down and down
Well, come on baby start the car now
This ain't no livin', this ain't no groove
Gonna lay down that hammer baby
Somewhere waitin', there's gotta be somethin' more
Well, started out for Paradise, it ain't no Promised Land
Yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I can't take this town, one more day baby
Yeah, start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no livin', this ain't no groove
This ain't no livin', this ain't no groove
Now come on baby, drive it home, start the car
