Neil Young - LIFE IN THE CITY (This Note's For You)
People sleepin' on the sidewalks
On a rainy day
Families livin' under freeways
It's the American way
Starvin' in the city
While the farm goes to seed
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets.
Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.
All our old hangouts
Are boarded up and closed
Or being sold to someone
Nobody knows
I got a woman that loves me
And I love her so
She's all dressed up now
With nowhere to go.
Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.
That's life in the city.
Listen to me people
Hear what I have to say
Ever since I was knee high
I rocked my blues away
But people sleepin' on the sidewalks
And families in need
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets.
Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that kill you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.
Neil Young-A Day in the Life- New York City MSG 12/16 (04:15)
Last song of the night. Fantastic end to an amazing show.
I don't know who Jack Nitzshe is but I do know Carrie Snodgress who was Neils first wife and died of cancer. "I've been waiting for you" never heard of it but I may have it because I have so many of Neil CD some I like more then others
Neil has a new CD?

I heard Stringman was written for Jack Nitzsche, who I think produced this song. Jack worked with so many bands, but I think his finest achievement is on Neil's underrated first record which includes "I've been waiting for You", my favorite song ever. Very weird but I knew the first time I heard it that it was something special. The only tarnish on Jack is he was in a drunker rage and almost beat Carrie Snodgress to death. Just heard a new version of Neil's "Dreamin' Man" on the radio -fine..

I have also read this was written for Jackson Browne...who played fiddle for the Dirt Band when he was young. I had also heard or read Stephen Stills and the other guy mentioned above. Only Neil knows for sure.

No, Susan Acevedo was Neils first wife. They were married in 1968 and divorced in 1970...
