I was dreaming about Chicago And your face was everywhere There were no words to soothe me There was no comfort there The days were different darlin' A different face, a different year And I'd never been so lonely No one ever comes by here Tell me more about Chicago Can you get there in a day? Hey what's your observation? Is it beautiful like you say? Such a simple conversation But I can't get it off my mind Tell me more about Chicago Maybe we can leave tonight Why am I still in Texas? I know I should be gone My days are dogged and they're dragging My god they take so long I know I should be somewhere Far away from where I am Instead of saddled to this front porch Just a shadow of a man Tell me more about Chicago Can you get there in a day? Hey what's your observation? Is it beautiful like you say? Just a simple conversation But I can't get it off my mind Tell me more about Chicago Maybe we can leave tonight Tell me more about Chicago Maybe we can leave tonight
