Chicago
These Midwest winds are picking up now
You've set full sail where they're blowing most strong
Landlocked, I'm left this fort to hold down
To be immersed in my thoughts when you're gone
Those Saint Paul blues are catching up now
Yea you've been stuck in one place, bored with life
But you know sometimes
We've got to open up our eyes
To realize we've been blind the whole time
And I won't feel abandoned
While we're apart
And I hope some new man
Don't come and steal away your heart
One more parting thought
Before you depart
You don't have to go to Chicago
I-90's such a bleak and boring drive
You don't have to go to Chicago
My '01 Ford Explorer just don't get that kind of mileage
That tidal wave crashed on me so hard
The day you told me you're leaving again
What's Illinois have that I don't got
That mile ain't even magnificent
You know home will be waiting
When you come back around
And I hope you'll be making your way back to the twin towns
I won't go chasing after that greyhound
You don't have to go to Chicago
You never liked the White Sox or the Bears
You don't have to go to Chicago
I hope you don't catch covid from the wine bar at O'Hare
Monotony has gotten me
Don't want to get away
I honestly don't want to meet
Obama anyway
No quarter for those tolls' roads
Still I wish you very well
No stomach for Jeppson's Malört
Or Rahm Emmanuel
Well well well
You don't have to go to Chicago
That bean won't make your problems go away
You don't have to go to Chicago
And I don't have to follow
So enjoy your holiday
You don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to
Don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to
Don't have to go
You've set full sail where they're blowing most strong
Landlocked, I'm left this fort to hold down
To be immersed in my thoughts when you're gone
Those Saint Paul blues are catching up now
Yea you've been stuck in one place, bored with life
But you know sometimes
We've got to open up our eyes
To realize we've been blind the whole time
And I won't feel abandoned
While we're apart
And I hope some new man
Don't come and steal away your heart
One more parting thought

You don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to
Don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to
Don't have to go
