Twenty years to see New York reflected on subway trains 'Bout twenty more I'll be forty-four, head back to Tampa Bay I k**ed a man there, in spite, and when he died, I took his place Eighteen made you callous to the kisses that you gave A coarse exchange, a cause for blame, and I stood out in the rain You k**ed a man there, and I cried, but the rain masked the hurt behind your face By the way dear we're alive, and it hurts 'cause we survived it [Chorus] Goodbye love, and good luck in life, and goodnight Chicago, die with a smile You'd have loved her, loved her, but you won't, you don't know, no no no no no no Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't wait until I drown to save me from it Goodnight Chicago, I k**ed a man to make you love me If the water's warm, filling up my head, I take Another one, Lord knows it's hard to stay Sober! When heaven's in your past and you have hell to pay Slower, I'm hung over, but I'm sorry that I'm late Eighteen made you callous to the kisses that you gave
In one more I stood out in the rain [Chorus] Goodbye love, and good luck in life, and goodnight Chicago, die with a smile You'd have loved her, loved her, but you won't, you don't know, no no no no no no Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't wait until I drown to save me from it Goodnight Chicago, I k**ed a man to make you love me Twenty years to see New York reflected on subway trains 'Bout twenty more I'll be forty-four, head back to Tampa Bay I k**ed a man there, in spite, and when he died, I took his place But don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't wait until I drown to save me from it Goodnight Chicago, I k**ed a man, I k**ed a man, I Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't wait until I drown to make it right Goodnight Chicago, goodnight Chicago Goodnight Chicago, goodnight
