[Verse 1]
The boy is born in hard-time mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
[Chorus]
Living just enough, just enough for the city...Ee ha!
[Verse 2]
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you better believe she hardly gets a penny
[Chorus]
Living just enough, just enough for the city...Ee ha!
[Verse 3]
His sister's black but she is sure enough pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord, her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
[Chorus]
Living just enough, just enough for the city...Ee ha!
The boy is born in hard-time mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
[Chorus]
Living just enough, just enough for the city...Ee ha!
[Verse 2]
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you better believe she hardly gets a penny
[Chorus]
Living just enough, just enough for the city...Ee ha!
[Verse 3]
His sister's black but she is sure enough pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord, her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
[Chorus]
Living just enough, just enough for the city...Ee ha!
