Well I was born in south Florida
And left there to die
I spent 18 long years in the weeds
I found it hard to believe in
The changing of seasons
The leaves only turned on TV
Mmm
And now I’ll fly if I have to
Though I would swim twice as long
To be the one she’ll press her back to
I am Chicago, go, going gone
I showed her the stoplight
My daddy must have fixed right
Before he left, a whisper in the wind
She kissed me like a church bell
Lord she loved me like an anvil
And I haven’t had her out of my mind since
And so my grandma told me
That I’ve got his body
And I don’t think she meant it unkind
So I’ll keep punching these time cards
And studying the fine art of working my way up
In that girls mind
And now I’ll fly if I have to
Though I would swim twice as long
To be the one she’ll press her back to
I am Chicago, go, going gone
One if by land
Two if by sea
Three little words
Made a bird out of me
Well I was born in south Florida
And left this July
18 years served me just fine
So tell the boss I’m off to marry
A sweet daughter of the prairie
And to kiss it where the sun’ll
Never shine
And now I’ll fly cuz I have to
Though I would swim twice as long
To be the one she’ll press her back to
I am Chicago, go, going gone
I was born in South Florida let me die in her arms
I’m Chicago, go, going, gone.
