0:39Born and raised in the windy city
0:42I moved west to kick start a dream
0:47What I found was a town without pity
0:51That'll chew you up and swallow you clean
1:03I'm amazed at the life I'm livin'
1:07Don't want to seem like I'm rockin' the boat
1:10But it ain't all about taking but giving
1:14I feel something tugging at my coat
1:18No one ever told me it would be like this
1:21That there'd be something called home that's too hard to miss
1:27I'm saying goodbye to the glamour
1:32Back to the old neighborhood
1:36All that I need is a place that I can breathe
1:39I'm saying Goodbye to Hollywood
1:51Done my time in the Hoodoo Jungle
1:55Tired of waking up in another man's dream
1:59I've got the ball and I ain't gonna fumble
2:03Gonna make a winner of this team
2:07All that ever mattered were the goals I chased
2:10Now I'm ready to run in the human race
2:16I'm saying goodbye to the glamour
2:20Life never tasted so good
2:24All that I need is a place that I can breathe
2:28I'm saying Goodbye to Hollywood
2:36Me and the Mrs done made up our minds
2:40We're gonna give our boys a little less sunshine
2:44Call it runnin' say what you like
2:48I've got my own definition of paradise
3:18I'd rather be knee deep in snow than knee deep in jive
3:23I may be cold but my soul is alive
3:37Repeat chorus
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 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 Now I'm ready to run in the human race 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
