| 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 |
