I wanna go back to the riverside

To the place I was born

I wanna go back to the riverside

To the place I call home

You took me to the city

When I was very young

No friends and no photographs

A new life we’d just begun



And now I’m old enough to tell you

How I feel

This city life is not for me



I wanna go back to the riverside

To the place I was born

I wanna go back to the riverside

To the place I call home



You waited at home I know

For a man I knew well

Your face was so full of tears

You were quiet as well

But you’d made up your mind

That you’d had enough

And you said you had no time

So I guess things were tough enough



You took me to the city

When I was very young

No friends and no photographs

A new life we’d just begun



And now I’m old enough to tell you

How I feel

This city life is not for me

And now I’m old... old enough (x4)

Old enough to leave you



Don’t want no more cities

I just wanna go home

So take me to the riverside

To the place I call home

Don’t want no more cities

I just wanna go home

So take me to the riverside (x3)

To the place I call home (call home)

I wanna go back to the riverside (x2)

Don’t want no more cities

I just wanna go home
