Where do I go from here?
\ Is there life anywhere in this empty city?
\ Could you show me where?.

Will it try and do to me
\ I'm tryin' to make it in this crazy city
\ Where no one cares.

I used to own this ground
\ Now there's no place around for a cherokee
\ In the grain big city.

Come from a country town
\ Where there's life all around
\ And we help each other
\ When we are feeling down.

Takes a trial to raise a child
\ Maybe that's why I see

So many suffer in the city.

I used to own this ground
\ Now there's no place around for a cherokee
\ In the grain big city
\ I used to love this ground
\ Now there's no place around for a cherokee
\ In the grain big city.

Where do I go from here?
\ I can't sit here in my.. my self-pity
\ I gotta beat this city.. yeah!.

I used to own this ground
\ Now there's no place around for a cherokee
\ In the grain big city
\ I used to love this ground
\ Now there's no place around for a cherokee
\ In the grain big city
