I grew up in the Country, beside a chicken shack.
So I left for the City, and I didn`t look back.
Now I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope)
Yes, I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Livin` in hope-.
Walkin` `round the City, feelin` all alone.
Nobody told me the streets are paved with stone.
But I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Yes, I`m livin` in hope.
(Livin` in hope) I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) I`m livin` in hope-.
Can`t find my feet or a friendly face in this God-forsaken town.
Nobody stops to lend a hand unless they wanna put you down. No.
Got no woman or a steady job.
Feelin` like a cowboy and lookin` like a slob.
But I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope)
Yes, I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) I`m livin` in hope-.
Nothin` in my pocket. Nowhere to go.
Lookin` for a handout but no one wants to know
Why I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope)
Yes, I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Livin` in hope-.
I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope)
Yes, I`m livin` in hope. (Livin` in hope) Livin` in hope
