A Million Miles to the City |
I remember it now we were kids back then living down on the farm |
We were told that the city could only bring us harm |
Well how far away is the city you know that’s a great big town |
And Barbara said why it’s a million miles and then the story got around |
It’s a million miles to the city from the hills and valleys we know |
It’s a million miles to the city and some day we all wanna go |
There was a town nearby but a town is a town and a city that’s somethin' else |
Our daddy had been to a city but he never was much help |
The buildings’re taller than oak trees ah but we knew better than that |
Cause ain’t nobody could climb that high the city was wide and flat |
It’s a million miles… |
The years have passed and we have grown and traveled far and wide |
The cities have changed the kids we were we see it in each other’s eyes |
Lord I’d love to go back to those hills again to the boy I used to be |
Where the leaves in the wind and the whippoorwills |
Were all just a part of the land like me |
It’s a million miles… |
