Born and raised in the windy city
I moved west to kick start a dream
What i found was a town without pity
That ll chew you up and swallow you clean
I m amazed at the life i m livin
Don t want to seem like i m rockin the boat
But it ain t all about taking but giving
I feel something tugging at my coat
No one ever told me it would be like this
That there d be something called home that s too hard to miss
Chorus:
I m saying goodbye to the glamour
Back to the old neighborhood
All that i need is a place that i can breathe
I m saying goodbye to hollywood
Done my time in the hoodoo jungle
Tired of waking up in another man s dream
I ve got the ball and i ain t gonna fumble
Gonna make a winner of this team
All that ever mattered were the goals i chased
Nowi m ready to run in the human race
Chorus:
I m saying goodbye to the glamour
Life never tasted so good
All that i need is a place that i can breathe
I m saying goodbye to hollywood
Me and the mrs. done made up our minds
We re gonna give our boys a little less sunshine
Call it runnin say what you like
I ve got my own definition of paradise
I d rather be knee deep in snow than knee deep in jive
I may be cold but my soul is alive
Repeat chorus
