I hear a voice
I hear the sound
The sound of my shoes
Shuffling on out of town
There's too many people
There's too many cars
Take me to Memphis, Mercury or Mars
I wanna go where the buffalo roam
I'm just a city boy lookin' for a home
I can't eat
I can't see
The city is no place to be
I can't even find my way
I'm just existing
From day to day
I wanna be where my soul can run free
I'm just a city boy lookin' for a home
And I don't wanna be no prisoner
And I sure don't wanna be no slave
I wanna look out at night
And see the stars in the sky
The Little Dipper and the Milky Way
I can't sleep
It's too loud
And everywhere I go
There seems to be a crowd
I'm just tired of all these concrete streets
I wanna feel the dirt up under my feet
I wanna go where the buffalo roam
I'm just a city boy looking for a home
I wanna go where the buffalo roam
I'm just a city boy looking for a home
I'm just a city boy and I'm lookin' for a home
I'm just a city boy and I'm lookin' for a home
I'm just a city boy and I'm lookin' for a home"
