Back to Buffalo

 

 

 

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Smell the refinery and the tires

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Wake up to the cold air

I wanna go back

See the salt on top of the pavement

I wanna stand on the Marine Bank Building and look down on the Southern Tier

 

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Back to the vagabonds of Allentown

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Shop at the psycho Bells

I wanna go back

See the Mayor punch somebody out

I wanna stumble up Main Street alone at night in the cold rain and snow

 

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Wade through the sludge in the Free Trade Zone

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Look in the Fishbowl of Colter Bay

I wanna go back

Back to the Town where Gilbert played

I wanna get hit in the head with a sign that says "Stop Abortion Now"

 

I wanna go back to Buffalo

See my breath coming out of my mouth

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Watch the exodus down to the south

I wanna go back

Take the train up to Broadway Joes

I wanna slide back over the Peace Bridge with a high-octane case of beer

 

I wanna go back to Buffalo

Back to the town where I belong

I wanna go back to Buffalo

But I know it's gonna take too long

I wanna go back

I got something I gotta do

I wanna see those city lights in a town that's really there

 

I wanna go back…..
