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