LIFE IN THE FURNITURE CITY
LIFE IN THE FURNITURE CITY
Copyright 2002 Words and Music by NED ALLEN ROUSE
This and my life solemnly stand before me
The furniture city, the Grand River, the waves of YCE
The Division and Wealthy Street run
A man with a gun
Wildly dressed ladies moving down to 28th Street
Restaurants and movies, only the malls can compete
Amway and Jerry Ford
They treat like the lord
The bands, the bars, night time dancing for-
Life in the Furniture City - With your passion for liquor stores
Life in the Furniture City - Where's your rusty nails
Life in the furniture city - the jolly trolley
Life in the Furniture City - watch your alibi
The festival downtown, the food
They hang on the Calders bright hood
The nighttime unravelers refrain
Business is hurting again
Life in the Furniture City - 3 TV stations/25 meteoroligists
Life in the Furniture City - I can hardly wait
Life in the Furniture City - 2 hour local newscasts
Life in the Furniture City - gas up chopper 8
This was my try to tell of this town in a song
The curfew has ended but at 2:00 AM Grand Rapids closes down
Golf courses and cemeteries, Who remembers Buck Barry
He must be out cruising' (good luck) looking for something to do
In the Furniture City
Life in the furniture city
Life in the furniture city
Life in the furniture city yea
This is a song in touch with my community. I love the artists in
our city. We all wish it was a little looser here. I
wanted a fun ode to our chunk of life. This is my rockin' Tony Bennett/hell he
broke it song
