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, that's a great big town"

And Barbara said, "Why, it's a million miles"

And the story got around It's a million miles to the city

From the hills and valleys we know

It's a million miles to the city

And someday we all wanna go There was a town nearby but a town is a town

And the city well, that's 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

Ain't nobody could climb that high

The cities were wide and flat It's a million miles to the city

From the hills and valleys we know

It's a million miles to the city

And someday we all wanna go 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 I'd 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 It's a million miles to the city

From the hills and valleys we know

It's a million miles to the city

And someday we all wanna go It's a million miles to the city

From the hills and valleys we know

It's a million miles to the city

And someday we all wanna go
