[Verse 1] Yeah, I remember it now, we were kids back then Livin down on the farm We were told that the city Could only bring us harm How far is the city?, somebody said And, Oh, thats a great big town And Barbara said, Why, its a million miles And the story got around [Chorus] Its a million miles to the city From the hills and valleys we know Its a million miles to the city And someday we all wanna go [Verse 2] There was a town nearby but a town is a town And the city well, thats something else Our 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 that Aint nobody could climb that high The cities were wide and flat [Chorus] [Verse 3] Well, now time has passed and we have grown And traveled far and wide The cities have changed the kids we were We see it in each others eyes But Id love to go back to those hills again To the boy I used to be Where the leaves and the wind and the whippoorwills Were part of the land like me [Chorus][x2]
city, million, town, mile, wide
