Toughest Street In Town Lyrics - Black Rose A Rock Legend - Thin Lizzy

Outside the window the neon flashes 

In the morning light 

Down on the sidewalk there's a woman with a problem 

But she don't know how to fight 

She's destitute and broken down 

She softly whispers is there no one around 

And no one hears the sound 

Her knees give way and hit the ground 

This is the toughest street in town 

This is the toughest street in town 

This is the toughest street in town 

This is the toughest 

Like a rat in a pack it attacks 

From the back 

Through a crack in a track 

And you take a smack

This Jack has had a hard day 

No one told him it would be like this 

He's had to score the hard way 

Working on twenty hour shifts 

This is the toughest street in town 

This is the toughest 

It's tough stuff 

This is the toughest street around 

This is the toughest 

Don't you do down 

No how 

It's just another black spot 

Where far too many people have died 

It's just another grave yard 

And there's not too many people left alive

This is the toughest 

Are you tough enough 

This is the toughest 

Are you rough enough 

This is the toughest 

Can you bluff enough 

Just a minor misery did me no harm 

But it's there to warn, outside the window 

The neon is still flashing in the morning light 

Down on the sidewalk that woman was blown away 

Out of sight 

All across the city no one gives a damn 

All across the city no one seems to understand 

This is the toughest 

This is the toughest street in town 

This is the toughest street around 

This is the toughest 

Are you rough enough 

This is the toughest 

If I were you I wouldn't come around here 

This is the toughest 

This is the toughest 

Are you tough enough
