Pittsburgh

In the way that your skyline looks on my morning commute
in the way that you light up at night
in the faces of those who tread the downtown sidewalks
in the conversations held with accents unique

in the way that your people have scattered the globe
in the way that each one still loves his first home
in the heart of every Pittsburgher beats strong
in the values and hard work that is in your blood
in the hopes of your sports teams lifting us up

in the way that you are always unpretentious
in the steel that fashioned you so true
in the tunnels and bridges and hillsides and rivers

in the way that black and gold are lovely
this is why you are my one and only
