Some people have asked. "Is song autobiographical? Maybe a little bit, but it's really a song dedicated to all the Buffalo musicians I have known or worked with over the years...

Buffalo Man- Ed Bentley

Like a fast movin' train, they thought he'd go far
But he's back home playin', in a buffalo bar
Tried la, nashville too
Doors keep slamin', when they dont need you
Few pawn tickets later, back home again.... he's a buffalo man, in a buffalo band

He's a guitar player, plays it funky
Plays the blues, n' a little country
Joint is packed, saturday night
Who walks in, his 3rd ex wife
Runs out the back door, jumps in his chevy van..... he's a buffalo man, in a buffalo band

Loves beef on weck & buffalo wings
Tells everybody, thats a buffalo thing
Likes the sabres, loves the bills
Fell real hard for a buffalo jill
Aint seen her since, they reppoed his van.... he's a buffalo man, in a buffalo band

The elmwood strip, he's played em all
A new casino, in the falls
Working hard, to climb the ladder
Finally got a gig at the sportsmans tavern
Dont get no better'n that Dwane, he has arrived..... he's a buffalo man, in a buffalo band
Bridge
Front page story, buffalo news
Sold a ton of cd's, beat out the goos
People in line, to shake his hand
Life sure is good , for a buffalo man
But then he woke up, it was just a dream...... oh well, what'yd expect still a buffalo man

Dont have money, not much fame
Loves this city, just the same
Call him crazy, your probably right
Nothin' like a february, buffalo night
Still playin' in the band, when he can..... he's a buffalo man, in a buffalo band

Boostin' buffalo, he's talkin' proud, makes him wanna shout, turn it up loud
Thinkin' back, remembering when, this rockin' city, first began
Stan Szelest, the piano man, billy sheehan, the talas band,
Rick james, funky bass guitar, stone country band, got pretty far
KB radio, ruled the air, when Danny & Joey & Tommy were there

Lookin' ahead, cant help but wonder, next generation, people remember
The goo goo dolls, all their fame, ani defranco, the righteous babe
Billy McEwen, mister soul, doug morgano, mister rock n' roll
All those bands out there now, who'll be next, to make us proud
Bring it on home, where the buffalo roam, this is buffalo man, You're in buffalo land
Heard of buffalo?
Yeah man, i heard of buffalo
No man, a buffalo herd
I dont care what the buffalo heard, mindin' my own Buss.
He's a buffalo man,in buffalo land
