Iâve been to Chicago and Iâve seen itâs 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 thatâs not the city that Iâm looking for
Iâve 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, itâs still not the city that Iâm looking for
And every time that I try to rest my troubled soul
All I find is Iâm not at home
And I will walk every road the world may have in store
But itâs still not the city that Iâm looking for
Iâve been out to see L.A. in all itâs 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 Iâm looking for
Seems like just as long as I remember
Iâve never found the place I wanna find
But as long as I can get there by forever
Iâll admit that I donât really mind
Cuz somewhere in that city by the pretty crystal sea
Iâve 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 thatâs the kind of city that Iâm looking for
Chorus
Oh, and thatâs the kind of city that Iâm looking for (2X)
