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
