Leavin' Chicago

Writer(s): Jerry Douglas Cole

Verse #1
The clouds are hangin low in the windy city
Miles of dark and grey consume the sky
There's an aweful chill of lonesome here this mornin
As I recall the distance, between her and I

Chorus:
Chicago you must know, I can't stay here I've got to go
The one I love, she's callin me away
New set of strings and one more show, then I can get back on the road
Leavin' Chicago, goin' today

Verse #2
I wish somehow time would move faster
But watching that old clock just makes it slow
This life on the road won't be my master
With every mile I feel the lonesome grow
