Buffalo Lyrics

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
