Oh, city, city
commanding all but beauty
Oh, city, city
demanding thoughtless duty
I've been your soldier
for a long, long time
but now I'm leaving
your aging walls behind
Oh, city, city
stand back and let my soul free
Oh, city, city
you've lost your walls below me
Your crippled structure
is a broken cane
I'm going back
to the open fields and plains
Your crippled structure
is a broken cane
I'm going back
to the open fields and plains
