Chicago, nothing here for me
You got to set me free, Chicago
Chicago, ain't a home for a girl alone
Chicago
There ain't one soul in this town that I ever found
Who cares if I live or if I die
One of these days I'm gonna pack up my bags
Put a smile on my face and say goodbye
Say goodbye to Chicago
Chicago got no hold on me
You gotta set me free, Chicago
Chicago, streets are cold
Chill me to my very soul
I'm gonna go somewhere
Where people aren't so scared
To show that they care
And they're likely to be kind
I'm gonna erase every memory of this place
Get it out of my mind
Leave it behind
Chicago
Lord, how I yearn to be able to turn
And not to find somebody waitin' to shoot me down
I'm pullin' up my stake,
it's just more than I can take
Makin' a break from this town
I won't hang around
Chicago, ain't a home for a girl alone
Chicago, ain't a home for a girl alone
Chicago, Chicago
