Song Lyrics


You Belong To The City by Glenn Frey. A great song written for Miami Vice- this song is the 80's. I mean, really. And I love the Miami Vice footage too, especially with Don Johnson all in white with the loafers. Good times. I like the story the video tells too. Sooo 80's!  

 The sun goes down the night rolls in 
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls 

You're out of your room and down on the street 
You can feel the crowds in the midnight heat 
The traffic roars the sirens scream
Look at the faces it's just like a dream 

Nobody knows where you're going 
Nobody knows where you've been 

Cause you belong to the city 
You belong to the night 
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light 

You were born in the city 
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves, it's in your blood 
You're a man of the street 

When you said goodbye you were on the run
Trying to get away from the things you'd done 
Now you're back again and you're feeling strange 
So much has happened but nothing has changed

Still don't know where you're going 
You're still just a face in the crowd 

You belong to the city
You belong to the night 
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light 

You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet 
It's in your blood, it's in your moves
For a man of the streets

You can feel it
You can taste it 
You can see it 
You can face it 
You can hear it 
You're getting near it 
You wanna make it 
Cause you can take it

You belong to the city
You belong to the night 
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong
You belong

  3. Oh yeah, this one is such a product of the 80's. And I remember it being used in Miami Vice. Pastel t-shirts and blazers for the win. LOL

  6. I have that song on a compilation, and I was a teen in the '80s, but I don't remember ever seeing the video! Ha, Don Johnson was so iconic (I DO remember the show). Also, Glenn Frey is from Eagles, which is as country as I get with my musical tastes.

  7. This song will always make me think of Miami Vice. That show spawned such good music back then.
