Baoji (simplified Chinese: 宝鸡; traditional Chinese: 寶雞; pinyin: Bǎojī) is a prefecture-level city in western Shaanxi province, People's Republic of China.
The prefecture-level city of Baoji has a population of 3,716,731 according to the 2010 Chinese census, inhabiting an area of 18,172 km2 (7,016 sq mi). The city itself has a population of approximately 800,000. Surrounded on three sides by hills, Baoji is in a valley opening out to the east. Its location is strategic, controlling a pass on the Qin Mountains between the Wei River valley and the Jialing River. Passing through Baoji is the ancient Northern Silk Road, the northernmost route of about 2,600 kilometres (1,616 miles) in length, which connected the ancient Chinese capital of Xi'an to the West over the Wushao Ling Mountain to Wuwei and emerging in Kashgar before linking to ancient Parthia.
Thriving early in the Tang dynasty, it has roots to 2000 BC, but is now a large industrial center. Railways first reached Baoji in 1937 and have been key to its modern growth. Baoji is also considered the gateway between western and eastern China since most trains from Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an pass through here on their way to Gansu, Sichuan, Xinjiang and Tibet (Lhasa). Fa Men Si (Famen temple), home to one of Buddha's finger bones, is also located in Baoji County. The Baoji area was home to the legendary Yandi, one of the Han Chinese forefathers. His tomb is located in the southern part of the city and his temple is located in the North.
When you're living on your own
And things around you start to go
You're on your own, well baby you're on your own
When I see it in your smile
I can tell it ain't your style
You're on your own, well baby you're on your own
You're alone if you don't know it
And pretty soon it takes it's toll
Maybe I should ask you why
You need everything
But you ain't got it, 'cause you're living on your own
One day soon this will be gone
And the love of life it could be
But 'til then you'll look at me
Then you'll feel it grow
And you'll always know
You ain't got it living on your own
And when I see you look at me
And I can tell how it will be
You're on your own well baby you're on your own
I can tell the way you smile
And just you wait and in a while
