I've been to Chicago and I've seen it's tallest tower
Rising high in silver spears in great displays of power
They got a lot of pretty things a man cannot ignore
Oh, but that's not the city that I'm looking for
I've seen New York city now all covered in the snow
Shining bright with colored lights everywhere I go
But I feel something missing here
And I long for something more
Oh, it's still not the city that I'm looking for
And every time that I try to rest my troubled soul
All I find is I'm not at home
And I will walk every road the world may have in store
But it's still not the city that I'm looking for
I've been out to see L.A. in all it's glory fine
To get a taste of hollywood some would call divine
But every sip upon my lip would kill me at the core
Knowing this is not the city that I'm looking for
Seems like just as long as I remember
I've never found the place I wanna find
But as long as I can get there by forever
I'll admit that I don't really mind
Cuz somewhere in that city by the pretty crystal sea
I've been told of streets of gold
And a mansion there for me
And nothing here can make me fear
The promise of that shore
Oh, and that's the kind of city that I'm looking for
Chorus
Oh, and that's the kind of city that I'm looking for (2X)
