Blues City Shake Down Lyrics - So Many Roads - John Mayall And 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.
