A Million Miles To The City Lyrics - Storyteller Poet Philosopher - Tom T. Hall

Yeah, I remember it now, we were kids back then livin' down on the farm 

We were told that the city could only bring us harm 

"How far is the city?" somebody said, and "oh, that's a great big town." 

Barbara said, "why, it's a million miles," and the story got around 

[Chorus:] 

It's a million miles to the city 

From the hills and valleys we know 

It's a million miles to the city 

And someday we all want to go

There was a town nearby, but a town is a town, and a city...well, that's 

Something else 

Our daddy had been to a city but he never was much help 

"Why the buildings are taller than oak trees." ah, but we knew better than that 

Ain't nobody could climb that high, the cities were wide and flat 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

Well now time has passed and we have grown and traveled far and wide 

The cities have changed the kids we were, we see it in each others eyes 

But I'd love to go back to those hills again, to the boy I used to be 

Where the leaves and the wind and the whippoorwills were part of the land like me 

[Chorus x2]
