City Boy

l hear a voice
And l hear the sound
The sound of my shoes
shuffling on out of town
Too many people
Too many cars
Take me to Memphis,
Mercury, or Mars
`Cause l want to go
Where the buffalo roam
l`m just a city boy
Looking for a home
l can`t breathe
And l can`t see
The city`s no place for me
And l can`t seem to find my way
l`m just existing from
day to day, yes l am
`Cause l want to be
Where my soul can run free
Well, l`m just a city boy
Looking for a home
Now, l don`t
Want to be no prisoner
And l sure don`t want
to be no slave
l want look out at night
And see stars in the sky
The Little Dipper
And the Milky Way
l can`t sleep
lt`s too loud
And everywhere
Everywhere l go, you know,
there seems to be a crowd
And l`m tired of
all these concrete streets
l want to feel the dirt
Up under my feet
`Cause l want to go
Somewhere where the buffalo roam
l`m just a city boy
Looking for a home
l want to go
Somewhere, somewhere where
the buffalo roam
Oh, l`m just a city boy
Looking for a home
Well, now, just a city boy
And l`m looking for a home
Whoa, just a city boy
