Silhouette of Chicago Lyrics

Wait, please wait up for me

Put the town on freeze

I don't wanna miss a single frame

Of this movie scene

I'm in Tennessee

I'm dreaming of another place

That's colder

And the wind blows stronger

Nearly 5 month winters

Take me back

The city's big but life is bigger

West side

Rear view mirror skyline

On my way to my old town

Not slowing down

Until I see

The silhouette of Chicago

Buried under the white snow

See the sun reflect off the lake

Drive by good old Midway

And the traffic of I-88

Make my way through the suburbs

Meet you at the riverwalk

I'm on 75th Street

Please wait up for me

Stop, stop and take it in

Where the plot begins

Nothing like visiting your hometown

Where we used to be

I love Tennessee

But I'm dreaming of another place

That's wilder

And the summers are milder

Every street is a guider to

Take you home

The people are wise but life is wiser

West side

Rear view mirror skyline

On my way to my old town

Not slowing down

Until I see

The silhouette of Chicago

Surrounded by the river flow

See Millennium Park with

Sears Tower on my right side

In the traffic on I-55

Make my way through the suburbs

Meet you at the cafe

I'm on 75th Street

Please wait up for me

Please wait up for me

West side, please wait up for me

Drive through Louisville then Indy

Through the fields of Illinois

Take me back

I'm on my way to see Chicago, wait

Please wait up for me

I'm on 75th Street, please wait up for me

I'll meet you down at Winding Creek

I'm on 75th Street

Please wait up for me

To make it back we'll go past

The skating park where you broke your arm

But you still went back the next week

Please wait up for me

So we can visit our old school

Walk the halls we used to rule

Hit our favorite place to eat

Please wait up for me

I'll pick you up we'll roam around

All the adjacent towns

'Til we see Chicago

Please wait up for me

I'm on 75th Street, please wait up for me

Please wait up for me

I'm on 75th street, please wait up for me
