Steel City Home Again Lyrics

Steel City

Now it's very pretty

Gone are most of the mills

So workers had to move away to pay their bills

I was born near the Allegheny River

When that river had so many mills

There were great views from rich folks' houses

Who lived up up up in the hills

They had the money

We did their jobs

It wasn't funny

Cause some us thought that we got robbed

And those folks loved their museums

Generous patrons of the arts

But we loved the Pittsburgh Steelers

And Franco Harris was our superstar

And we loved Jeff Goldblum

As quirky as he was

But that's the steel city

Where quirky still gets most of the buzz

Steel City

Now it's very pretty

Gone are most of the mills

So workers had to move away to pay their bills

But don't cry for my sweet town

Pittsburgh did not really stay down

So many of us heard its 3 rivers' call

We came back home
