A Million Miles To The City - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]
Yeah, I remember it now,[00:00:11]
We were kids back then[00:00:13]
Livin' down on the farm[00:00:15]
We were told that the city[00:00:19]
Could only bring us harm[00:00:23]
"How far is the city?", somebody said[00:00:27]
And, "Oh, that's a great big town"[00:00:31]
And Barbara said,[00:00:35]
"Why, it's a million miles"[00:00:37]
And the story got around[00:00:39]
It's a million miles to the city[00:00:42]
From the hills and valleys we know[00:00:46]
It's a million miles to the city[00:00:50]
And someday we all wanna go[00:00:54]
There was a town nearby[00:01:00]
But a town is a town[00:01:03]
And the city well, that's something else[00:01:04]
Our daddy had been to a city[00:01:09]
But he never was much help[00:01:12]
Why the buildings are taller than Oak trees[00:01:17]
Ah, but we knew better than that[00:01:21]
Ain't nobody could climb that high[00:01:24]
The cities were wide and flat[00:01:28]
It's a million miles to the city[00:01:32]
From the hills and valleys we know[00:01:36]
It's a million miles to the city[00:01:40]
And someday we all wanna go[00:01:43]
Well, now time has passed and we have grown[00:01:50]
And traveled far and wide[00:01:54]
The cities have changed the kids we were[00:01:58]
We see it in each others eyes[00:02:02]
But I'd love to go back to those hills again[00:02:06]
To the boy I used to be[00:02:10]
Where the leaves and the wind[00:02:14]
And the whippoorwills[00:02:16]
Were part of the land like me[00:02:18]
It's a million miles to the city[00:02:22]
From the hills and valleys we know[00:02:26]
It's a million miles to the city[00:02:29]
And someday we all wanna go[00:02:34]
It's a million miles to the city[00:02:37]
From the hills and valleys we know[00:02:42]
It's a million miles to the city[00:02:45]
