I don't wanna go back to the city
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back to the city
I don't wanna go
Lay me down in the tall grass, let me be
Lay me down and let the wind have his way with me

I don't wanna go back to the concrete
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back to the concrete
I don't wanna go
Lay me down in the tall grass, let me be
Lay me down and let the moon have her way with me

Lay me down in the tall grass, let me be
Lay me down and let the moon have her way with me

I don't wanna go back to the hustle
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back to the hustle
I don't wanna go
But lay me down in the tall grass, let me be
Lay me down, let the rain wash over me
Lay me down in the tall grass, let me be
Lay me down and let the storm have his way

Hey ya, hey ya, hey-ya
Hey-ya
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya

(Hey ya, hey ya, hey-ya)
She said walk gently, walk gently (hey-ya)
Into the wide open spaces, as far as you can see (hey ya, hey ya, hey-ya)
She said go to the places that you can breathe (hey ya, hey ya, hey-ya)
And I stood with the Old Ones who dreamed this life in me (hey-ya)
And listened for her voice, in the stillness of the trees (hey-ya, hey ya, hey-ya)

Saying walk gently, walk gently (hey ya, hey ya, hey-ya)
And we fight and resist for the simple right to be (hey-ya)
To stand with the land and dance in ceremony (hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya)
And this is what freedom means to me
This is what freedom means to me (hey ya, hey ya, hey-ya)
But how can you be free if I'm not free?
How can you be free if I'm not free? (Hey-ya)
How can you be free? (Hey-ya, hey-ya)

I don't wanna go back to the city
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back to the city
I don't wanna go, no

I don't wanna go back to the city, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go back to the city, no
I don't wanna go, no

I don't wanna go back, no
I don't wanna go, no (this is what freedoms means to me)
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go back
(This is what freedoms means)
