Tom T. Hall - A Million Miles to The City слова песни
Yeah, I remember it now, we were kids back then livin down on the farmWe were told that the city could only bring us harm"how far is the city? " somebody said, and "oh, thats a great big town."Barbara said, "why, its a million miles," and the story got around(chorus)Its a million miles to the cityFrom the hills and valleys we knowIts a million miles to the cityAnd someday we all wanna goThere was a town nearby, but a town is a town, and a city...well, thatsSomething elseOur daddy had been to a city but he never was much help"why the buildings are taller than oak trees." ah, but we knew better than thatAint nobody could climb that high, the cities were wide and flat(chorus)Well now time has passed and we have grown and travelled far and wideThe cities have changed the kids we were, we see it in each others eyesBut Id love to go back to those hills again, to the boy I used to beWhere the leaves and the wind and the whippoorwills were part of the land like me(chorus x 2)
