Lyrics
Buffalo
Copyright 2007 Koots
Well it started as a journey with no place to go
Just lonely traveling on my mind
So I packed up all my earthly goods
With not much to show
And I headed down the road for Buffalo
Well the snow began to fall
But I kept pushing through it all
Keeping myself to myself
And I have to say
It?s been a long weary way
Traveling the road to Buffalo
Buffalo sings her name to me
Across the miles like a melody
Calling me with a siren?s song
It won?t be long
It won?t be long
Till I?m in her arms
Now I have to admit it?s been a long long time
That I?ve had that woman on my mind
Well I met her in the Spring
And she left in the Fall
And she headed down that Road to Buffalo
So I guess I really knew
But I didn?t thing it through
The reason for my pain
And if luck treats me right
I?ll be there tonight
And I?ll be in her arms once again
And if luck treats me right
I?ll be in her arms tonight
And I?ll be in her arms in Buffalo
I?ll be rolling in her arms in Buffalo
