[Verse 1]
I hear a voice, l hear the sound
The sound of my shoes, shuffling on out of town
Too many people, too many cars
Take me to Memphis, Mercury, or Mars

[Chorus]
'Cause l wanna go
Where the buffalo roam
I'm just a city boy
Looking for a home
I can't breathe,and I can't see
The city's no place for me
And I can't seem to find my way
I'm just existing from day to day
But I want to be
Where my soul can run free
I'm just a city boy
Looking for a home

[Verse 2]
Now, l don't wanna be no prisoner
And l sure don't wanna be no slave
Want look out at night and see stars in the sky
The Little Dipper and the milky way
I can't sleep, it's too loud
Everywhere, where l go, you know there seems to be a crowd
Tired of all these concrete streets
I want to feel the dirt up under my feet
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna go
Where where the buffalo roam
I'm just a city boy
Looking for a home
I wanna go
Somewhere where the buffalo roam
I'm just a city boy
Looking for a...
I'm just a city boy
Looking for a home
