Lyrics
I've been to all the great American cities I keep my head about me wherever I walk I fell in love with all the American peoples Oh how I love the musical ways that they talk You're never really alone in the American cities Get out your car and see all the life that's around Sometimes you gotta be tough in the American cities But when you're weary and blue don't the streets make a beautiful sound I've been to all the great American cities I keep my head about me wherever I walk I fell in love with all the American peoples Oh how I love the musical ways that they talk They come from all over the world to the American cities Down by the docks and for dozens of blocks they walk by Dancing on a summer's night and everybody's so pretty Faces reflecting the glow of the lights in the sky I've been to all the great American cities I keep my head about me wherever I walk I fell in love with all the American peoples Oh how I love the musical ways that they talk I was feeling down in a hard cold suburban town I needed something to show me what life could be Got on the greyhound bus I hit the highway without much of a fuss I knew there must be something more that was waiting for me I've been to all the great American cities (Detroit, Memphis, New York, Houston) I keep my head about me wherever I walk (Boston, Denver, Philadelphia) I fell in love with all the American peoples (Nashville, Portland, Santa Fe, Boise) Oh how I love the musical ways that they talk (Omaha, Miami, DC, Rochester, Tucson, New Orleans, LA Baltimore, Atlanta, Jackson, Saint Paul) Oh how I love the musical ways that they talk Oh how I love the musical ways that they talk I really love the musical ways that they talk
