Coming from the City

Coming from the city, I had to leave it all behind
Been there much too long, and it was getting to my mind
People all around me, oh they're moving much too fast
If they don't slow down, we ain't never gonna last

Cuz the world just keeps on turning, ain't no faster than it used to be
The things they do in the city, make me break away
To be free

Coming from the city, oh I watched it all go down
Ain't it a pity, said no one was around
The city don't understand the will of a man
When he's tired of what he sees and deep in his heart he bleeds

For the place where the mountains stand high, and peace was always on my mind
I'm yearning for those past days gone by, I gotta get away
To be me

Coming from the city, do do yeah, said I watched it all go down
Coming from the city, do do yeah, no one was around
Coming from the city, do do yeah, I had to leave it all behind
Coming from the city, do do yeah, got to get away
