about
Written after living in Indiana for two years.
lyrics
Take me home to Pittsburgh, darling.
Take me from this place.
If I never see those three rivers,
I'll never recover 'cause there's no other
Home like Pittsburgh, PA.

Followed my heart out to Minnesota,
Watched it sink beneath a frozen lake.
Followed my mind out to Arizona,
And watched it it in the sunshine getting baked.

Take me home to Pittsburgh, darling.
Take me from this place.
If I never see those three rivers,
I'll never recover 'cause there's no other
Home like Pittsburgh, PA.

Spent some time in the hills of Indiana,
Watching my heroes fall with a thousand stars.
Down the mountainsides of ol'e Kentucky,
I stumbled into a dozen beds and bars.

Take me home to Pittsburgh, darling.
Take me from this place.
If I never see those three rivers,
I'll never recover 'cause there's no other
Home like Pittsburgh, PA.

Saw my dreams die out in California,
Crushed between the cracks of a great earthquake.
Spent a day in the bays of Massachusetts,
Where I found myself burning at the stake.

So take me home to Pittsburgh, darling.
Take me from this place.
If I never see those three rivers,
I'll never recover 'cause there's no other
Home like Pittsburgh, PA.

Took a shortcut out through South Dakota,
Watched my spirit and the buffalo roam.
But nothing makes you feel more all alone
Than being in good company far from home.

So take me home to Pittsburgh, darling.
Take me from this place.
If I never see those three rivers,
I'll never recover 'cause there's no other
Home like Pittsburgh, PA.
