Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna make my home where the buffalo roam
In that great panorama
My baby brother and me in the land of the free
Americana
[Verse 2]
In my schoolboy world, I always get the girl
On that great silver screen
'Cause since I was a teen, you know I had this dream
Americana
[Verse 3]
Running high on inspiration
Taken from those wild west heroes
Full of expectations of the road
On that winding trail to somewhere
Young and foolish, though we did not care
What dangers lay in store in the soul
[Verse 4]
In the steps of the great pioneers
Over Essie and Nancy
Said I can't understand how I'm gonna get there from here
Wherever it goes, it's gonna take me somewhere
[Verse 5]
Americana
Americana
[Verse 6]
Kentucky moon, Montana sky
Sierra Nevada
It's an empty pride but it's a long, long drive
Americana
[Verse 7]
I wanna make my home where the buffalo roam
Oh
