New Featured Unknown/Underrated Song: "In the City" by the Eagles

Here's one of the great tracks on the Eagles' best career album.  It was never released as a single, making it one of The Top Album Tracks of the Rock Era*:

 
In the City
Eagles

Words and Music by Joe Walsh and Barry DeVorzon

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
but there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city

I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city
