You always said I wouldn't stay I guess you saw the way Before it all began I've always been a changin' train And when you think on this You might forgive me then Thanks for Chicago Mr James And all the shiny suits And all the shining names The things a country boy can't grace Without the look of shame Upon a city face And you needed more Than the smile I wore You picked me up on my way down The dusty one horse town I won't forget the jail The mayor's wife and Cadillac The sheriff on my back 'Til you put up the bail Thanks for Chicago Mr James You got a lot of grace But you're an empty place The dawn falls hard upon my face I'll move as I began Thru' fields without a plan Thanks for Chicago Mr James That world of grey and gold That watched you growing old The things I never saw I see To think that I'm still free And I'm not feeling cold
