I love to walk these streets The ghost of my own childhood It's the place where I was born All my memories are here There's a heart that beats so strong It keeps me safe and warmer And no matter where I go I know I'll always come back home Out in the night I can hear the voices calling Out in the dark i can hear it more and more I gotta shoot for the city It's the place where I belong I gotta shoot for the city I can't stay away too long I gotta shoot for the city I'll never be alone There's so much love round here I gotta shoot for the city I'll never be alone There's nothing that I fear My father spent his life here Digging for the future A man of great respect But he never had a chance I left when I was young To seek out fame and fortune I had to know what life was like Out on the other side Out in the night I can hear the voices calling Out in the dark i can hear it more and more I gotta shoot for the city It's the place where I belong I gotta shoot for the city I can't stay away too long I gotta shoot for the city I'll never be alone There's so much love round here I gotta shoot for the city I'll never be alone There's nothing that I fear The school where I was taught That life was but a journey A retired army officer, reminising about the war The park where Sunday afternoons would last forever And down at Johnny's place Where we danced the summertime blues Out in the night I can hear the voices calling Out in the dark i can hear it more and more I gotta shoot for the city It's the place where I belong I gotta shoot for the city I can't stay away too long I gotta shoot for the city I'll never be alone There's so much love round here I gotta shoot for the city I'll never be alone There's nothing that I fear
