[00:00.00]A Million Miles To The City - Tom T. Hall
[00:11.38]Yeah, I remember it now,
[00:13.50]We were kids back then
[00:15.82]Livin' down on the farm
[00:19.82]We were told that the city
[00:23.25]Could only bring us harm
[00:27.69]"How far is the city?", somebody said
[00:31.57]And,"Oh, that's a great big town"
[00:35.75]And Barbara said,
[00:37.07]"Why, it's a million miles"
[00:39.38]And the story got around
[00:42.97]It's a million miles to the city
[00:46.85]From the hills and valleys we know
[00:50.79]It's a million miles to the city
[00:54.48]And someday we all wanna go
[01:00.41]There was a town nearby
[01:03.10]But a town is a town
[01:04.91]And the city well, that's something else
[01:09.16]Our daddy had been to a city
[01:12.60]But he never was much help
[01:17.16]Why the buildings are taller than Oak trees
[01:21.02]Ah, but we knew better than that
[01:24.96]Ain't nobody could climb that high
[01:28.71]The cities were wide and flat
[01:32.40]It's a million miles to the city
[01:36.21]From the hills and valleys we know
[01:40.27]It's a million miles to the city
[01:43.77]And someday we all wanna go
[01:50.40]Well, now time has passed and we have grown
[01:54.33]And traveled far and wide
[01:58.52]The cities have changed the kids we were
[02:02.34]We see it in each others eyes
[02:06.15]But I'd love to go back to those hills again
[02:10.21]To the boy I used to be
[02:14.28]Where the leaves and the wind
[02:16.77]And the whippoorwills
[02:18.78]Were part of the land like me
[02:22.21]It's a million miles to the city
[02:26.03]From the hills and valleys we know
[02:29.46]It's a million miles to the city
[02:34.03]And someday we all wanna go
[02:37.90]It's a million miles to the city
[02:42.03]From the hills and valleys we know
[02:45.84]It's a million miles to the city
