J4 - Buffalo

I was born in the city that I've come to know
As the blue-collar town where I learned to grow
And as I find myself in this old ball cap
That says Buffalo Bills, you can't ever go back
My papa built on that old gravel ground
Where the big men were throwing the pigskin around
When Kelly was king, and Cuomo a clown
And my papa and uncle built the Southtowns
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
A city so cold yet always so warm
And even if Nashville's lights shine more
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
Bethlehem Steel left and put us through hell
My Grandma went broke, the economy fell
And yet through it all she'd always tell me
How wonderful life was, how we're blessed to be well
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
A city so cold yet always so warm
And even if Nashville's lights shine more
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
Now the city I love made itself a name
By the hard work and sacrifice seventeen gave
The burden of thousands now rest in his hands
As his cleats meet the ground where my papa still stands
As his cleats meet the ground where my papa still stands
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
A city so cold yet always so warm
And even if Nashville's lights shine more
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
My Buffalo roots can't ever be torn
