lyrics

Played my music in my small town
But who would listen when no one's around
I went to the city to earn my fame
Wanted the world to remember my name
Traveled the streets, saw the sights
I was bewildered with all of the lights
I felt inspired to write some new songs
The city seemed like the place I belonged

Spent three years in an 8-by-8 room
One thousand nights I spent trying to write tunes
But when I looked out my window to see starry skies
All I saw were towers bathed in orange and white
I became frustrated by machines and by cars
Missed the singing of birds and the twinkling of stars
I longed for the sound of the wind in the trees
And the touch of grass as it lay beneath my feet

I'd been changed by the noise and forgotten my sound
Took the train back to my old stomping grounds
Saw the winding roads and the picturesque views
And the silence of nature brought me back my muse
I've seen many artists with stars in their eyes
But the city devours them, their star flames out and dies
But the greatest musicians write just what they know
And the place I know best is the place I still call home
