Lyrics

Walked from the subway down to the train
You brought your umbrella, oh, just in case it rains
Goodbye Chicago, I'll see you soon
I'm gone from November, I won't be back til June

You kept your secrets girl and I told you lies
No hiding places left for me to hide
We rode our bikes down to old Mckinley Park
Carve down the party, it shows in the bar

You said you moved in town about a week ago
Drove up fourteen hours from the dawn
Studied english literature, worked for with foreign politics
So for now, you were going back and forth

Late out of Oakwood, more now when
The sun was singing about a rusty nail
Built in the winter of eighteen fourty-three
Pictures of men in denim shirts and worn out jeans

I just want to take a taxi out of the city before you fall asleep
From the miles and miles and miles from the street
Ignore the bums and couple boxes asking for money
I've got to go, I've got to go

You said you moved in town about a week ago
Drove up fourteen hours from the dawn
Studied english literature, worked for with foreign politics
So for now, you were going back and forth

The story of an East Coast girl
Warm in her winter coat waiting for the sun
to finally go down
Oh, she's wondering what happened
to that California sunshine she used to know
She used to know
