My bags are waiting in a cab downstairs

I've got a ticket in my pocket says I'll make it out of here

And I came by here just to tell you good-by

I can see it in your face, you don't want to know why

I made up my mind late last night

That I would leave your city behind

Oh, and love is not in question

When you're holding the answer

In your cold heart and your closed mind

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind

Out in these streets these people are angry

Well, they push and shove one another aside

Well, I worked from the heart and you worked for the money

But I paid the price for your will to survive

I made up my mind late last night

That I would leave your city behind

Oh, and love is not in question

When you're holding the answer

In your cold heart and your closed mind

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind

Chicago roars like a Midwest hurricane

I see that storm in your eyes

One of these mornings when you're making your way

Just gonna wash you out with the tide

My bags are waiting in a cab downstairs

I've got a ticket in my pocket says I'll make it out of here

And I came by here just to tell you good-by

I can see it in your face, you don't want to know why

I made up my mind late last night

That I would leave your city behind

Oh, and love is not in question

When you're holding the answer

In your cold heart and your closed mind

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind
