Dead City Lyrics & Chords By John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Going back to the desert
Arizona sun beat down

Getting sick of my trubles
Tired of this scuflling round

Cos living in dead city
There ain't no peace around


Saw a man on the corner
Holding out his hand

No home nor money

This ain't how he'd planned

Rotting here in this dead city doin' the best he can


Going back to the canyons
Fish in a mountain stream

Get a start with a new life
Cut loose from all I'd been

Get away from dead city
Where the police sirens scream


There's blood on the sidewalk
Another baby killed today

All the gangs taking over
And the drugs gonna be here to stay

All the crime in dead city gonna take my life away

Going back to the campgrounds
And I hope it won't be long

Let the earth be my mother
Something to make me strong

Get away from that dead city
Where they don't know right from wrong
