I Want My City Back

Up around 95
sailing down starrow drive
left exit into kenmore square
slowed down when i got there
and that's when it was crystal clear
it wasn't there, it wasn't where
i left it, when i left it
I want my city back
back the way it used to be
i want it back the way it was
i looked around and found
this doesn't feel like my hometown
and i don't like the way it does feel
Stepped out to take a closer look
held in with every step i took
the sadness i felt just to look around
i looked up to the citgo sign
you used to be a friend of mine
do you agree with me at one time
this was once such sacred ground
but now...
I want my city back
back the way it used to be
i want it back the way it was
i looked around and found
this doesn't feel like my hometown
and i don't like the way it does feel
How should i feel when the place
where i first learned i could feel
is no longer where i left it
when i left it, not so long ago
how should i feel? how should i feel?
how should i feel? i don't know
I want my city back
back the way it used to be
i want it back the way it was
i looked around and found
this doesn't feel like my hometown
and i don't like the way it does feel
