Thanks For Chicago Mr James

Intro: verse 1 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 shiny 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 verse 2 You picked me up on my way down That 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 through 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
