"Chicago" lyrics

I got drunk last night
Me and the same old guys
You would've rolled your eyes
God, I even love you when you're pissed off
Six months ago
You said "A month or so"
Not that I'm counting though
Just staring at the seconds on my wristwatch

While you're running through the city where the wind picks up
I'm running out of patience, love

What if my heart gives out on me
And they lay me six feet down at thirty three?
What if my car wraps 'round a tree
And the last thought that I have is watching you leave?
If you make it to Chicago and you change your mind
I'll be waiting where you left me at the county line
'Til the end comes calling, I'll be yours for life
But take your time
Take your time

Put on your winter coat
Watch the river boats
Cough through a pack of smokes
Lying 'til you're missing Carolina
Where the interstate
Only goes one way
Is there something I could say to remind ya?

What if my heart gives out on me
And they lay me six feet down at thirty three?
What if my car wraps 'round a tree
And the last thought that I have is watching you leave?
If you make it to Chicago and you change your mind
I'll be waiting where you left me at the county line
'Til the end comes calling, I'll be yours for life
But take your time
Take your time

While you're running through the city where the wind picks up
In between all of the sirens and the garbage trucks
I wonder if you've had enough
I wonder if you think of us

What if my heart gives out on me
And they lay me six feet down at thirty three?
What if my car wraps 'round a tree
And the last thought that I have is watching you leave?
If you make it to Chicago and you change your mind
I'll be waiting where you left me at the county line
'Til the end comes calling, I'll be yours for life
But take your time
Take your time
