Steve Earle
City of Immigrants
[Verse 1]
Livin' in a city of immigrants
I don't need to go travelin'
Open my door and the world walks in
Livin' in a city of immigrants
Livin' in a city that never sleeps
My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats
Singin' in languages I don't speak
Livin' in a city of immigrants

[Chorus]
City of black
City of white
City of light
City of innocents
City of sweat
City of tears
City of prayers
City of immigrants

[Verse 2]
Livin' in a city where the dreams of men
Reach up to touch the sky and then
Tumble back down to earth again
Livin' in a city that never quits
Livin' in a city where the streets are paved
With good intentions and a people's faith
In the sacred promise a statue made
Livin' in a city of immigrants
[Chorus]
City of stone
City of steel
City of wheels
Constantly spinnin'
City of bone
City of skin
City of pain
City of immigrants
Hup

[Bridge]
All of us are immigrants
Every daughter, every son
Everyone is everyone
All of us are immigrants
Everyone

[Verse 3]
Livin' in a city of immigrants
River flows out and the sea rolls in
Washin' away nearly all of my sins
Livin' in a city of immigrants

[Chorus]
City of black (All of us are immigrants)
City of white
City of light (Every daughter, every son)
I'm livin' in a city of immigrants
City of sweat (Everyone is everyone)
City of tears
City of prayers (All of us are immigrants)
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of stone (All of us are immigrants)
City of steel
City of wheels (Every daughter, every son)
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of bone (Everyone is everyone)
City of skin
City of pain (All of us are immigrants)
City of immigrants
[Outro]
All of us are immigrants
All of us are immigrants
