Thanks For Chicago, Mr. James

You always said i wouldn't stay
I'm guess you saw me? before it all began
I've always been a changing train
And when you think i'm lost?
You might forgive me then
Thanks for chicago, mr. james
And all the shiny suits and all the shiny names
The things a country boy can place
The look of shame upon your city face
And you needed more
___
You picked me up on my way down
That dusty one-horse town
I won't forget the jail
And there's wife and cadillac
The sheriff on my back 'til you put up the bail
Thanks for chicago, mr. james
You've got a lot of grace
But you're an empty place
The dawn falls hard upon my face
I move as i began through fields ___
Thanks for chicago, mr. james
That world of grain 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
