If you're ever in Chicago, let me know
If you're ever in Chicago, let me know
We'll go walking by the lake or we'll go dancing in the snow
If you're ever in Chicago, let me know
If you're ever in Chicago, I'll be here
If you're ever in Chicago, I'll be here
Wrigleyville on game day still smells like hot dogs and beer
If you're ever in Chicago, I'll be here
I cried the night the White Sox won the Series
I cried the night the Cubbies won it, too
And I cried the day that Walter Payton died in '99
When you cut this city, it bleeds orange and blue
If you're ever in Chicago, listen hard
If you're ever in Chicago, listen hard
'Cause she sings like Mavis Staples and she cries like Pops's guitar
If you're ever in Chicago, listen hard
We'll get high and sing John Prine til morning
We'll get high and sing Steve Goodman, too
And every Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon song we know
When you cut this town, you know it bleeds the blues
If you're ever in Chicago, let me know
If you're ever in Chicago, let me know
My old neighborhood has changed, but it still feels like home
If you're ever in Chicago, let me know
If you're ever in Chicago, let me know
