Buffalo

I was born in the city that I've come to know As the blue-collar town where I learned to grow And as I find myself in this old ball cap That says Buffalo Bills, you can't ever go back My papa built on that old gravel ground Where the big men were throwing the pigskin around When Kelly was king, and Cuomo a clown And my papa and uncle built the Southtowns My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn A city so cold yet always so warm And even if Nashville's lights shine more My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn Bethlehem Steel left and put us through hell My Grandma went broke, the economy fell And yet through it all she'd always tell me How wonderful life was, how we're blessed to be well My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn A city so cold yet always so warm And even if Nashville's lights shine more My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn Now the city I love made itself a name By the hard work and sacrifice seventeen gave The burden of thousands now rest in his hands As his cleats meet the ground where my papa still stands As his cleats meet the ground where my papa still stands My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn A city so cold yet always so warm And even if Nashville's lights shine more My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
