[Intro]
  


[Verse 1]
     
Buffalo once r

oamed

The great expa

nse of our cou

ntry
            
Now they stand

          
 in the sandbo

x in the corne

r of the city


[Pre-Chorus]
          
We had our pic

            
nics in the pa


rk, watching t

he bison mope
            
Once a proud a

   
nd noble beast

Now the butt o

f our bad joke

s


[Chorus]
          
You saw me off

    
 at the statio

n
            
In your leopar

          
d print coat a

 
nd hat
            
It was a clich

       
é, we had to l


augh

Waving at me a

s I left
            
But the laught

      
er made us sad

der
            
Than the leavi

        
ng could have 


had
      
In a flash I c


ried
            
Oh, goodbye, g

                   
irl of mine


[Interlude]
   


[Verse 2]
              
When it came t

       
ime for me to 

go
         
The buffalo ha

d the last lau

gh
        
Waiting at the

 gate

They sneered, 

they strut, th

ey prance


[Pre-Chorus]
          
How did I know

             
 I thought a t

#
hing like that

?
              
A fling was on

   
ly fleeting
            
An instant in 

       
the distant pa

st
              
Made to end, n

           
ot made to las

t


[Chorus]
          
You saw me off

[Outro]

What a time, a

 time to remem

Something that

 good can't la

st forever
            
But now I wond

         
er if it might

 have after al

As the train p

ulled away, it

 hit me

What I really 

would be missi

Leaving was no

 sweet

As laughter co
