Leaving Chicago – Lyrics

Tonight I’m gonna find myself a real woman
Take her downtown to the lights out on State Street.

That’s right, I’m leavin the thought of leaving behind
I’m past past-due on time, and time’s a-wastin

So good-bye sweet Foster Beach
Winter’s gone a summer sauntering
And we won’t miss the cold until it’s July
------------
Oh babe don’t worry or miss me when I’m gone
For I’ll be back before the spring grass is growin

Oh endless night – don’t take away my song
I’ll need it when I think of home and all she harbors

Oh Illinois, I knew you well
Shoulders broad and fields full by now
And oh to see the lake in all her glory
