Knucklehead - Born In A Big City lyrics

Jesse was born on the East Side His father never stuck around Couldn't hold a job 'Cause he wouldn't put the bottle down Now he's 23 years older Doing the best that he can And what he don't know 'Cause he's never been told He reminds us of his old man Now Jesse's got a job selling records At a place on 11th street He'll do a few deals on the side To make ends meet He met a girl last night out drinking Tonight he's gonna meet her again And what they don't know is a Year from tomorrow Jesse's gonna be a dad Jesse was born in a big city, yeah He's doing all right When the lights go out in the big city, yeah Jesse ain't coming home tonight (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) So one day he came home with A diamond ring and said, "It's time I settle down" Six months later she caught him out Messing around Tonight when he walked out the front door And said, "I ain't coming back" He left a wife at home, with a son On her own Just like his dear ol' dad Yeah! Jesse was born in a big city, yeah He's doing all right When the lights go out in the big city, yeah Jesse ain't coming home tonight (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Jesse was born in a big city, yeah He's doing all right When the lights go out in the big city, yeah Jesse ain't coming home tonight Jesse was born in a big city, yeah He's doing all right When the lights go out in the big city, yeah Jesse ain't coming home tonight
