America - High In The City Lyrics






Now I'm high in the city
Feel the evening air
The crowds in the city
Compete for a share
It's all so busy, a complete affair
Down here...

As I walk through marble
Finding my way out to daylight
One drinking orange vodka
Someone inside here
Will give us a ride dear

I know a place where we both can go
To set our hearts on fire
I know the city's the only show

Can I take you for a ride
I can make you satisfied
All 'n all it's worth your while
Change that frown back to a smile
Tonight

Do or die in the misty city
All night long
A nightclub in the middle
Tappin' time to my song
Catch hell for leavin'
They are always wrong
Down here...

As I walk through marble
Finding my way in the night-light
Two people sit and argue
Someone inside here
Will give them a ride clear

I know a place where we both can go
To set our hearts on fire
I know the city's the only show

Can I take you for a ride
I can make you satisfied
All 'n all it's worth your while
Change that frown back to a smile
Tonight

    leonakita They did survive Dan. This song was not one of their best ones. But certainly "Only Game in Town", and "All Around" as well as "Foolin" on this album. Any one of those could have been the one.

    This is the album closer and does double duty as the big production number featuring a full horn section!... Great America tune!

    AMERICA survives the loss of its soul, Dan Peek, but still has heart as they return with SILENT LETTER in 1979. With the addition of horns & the spot on George Martin production there are several outstanding tracks, this being one. Gerry Beckley stands out, demonstrating that he is the premier song writer now. Check out the positive vibes of 'ALL AROUND' from this album as well if you need some happiness injected into your day!
