Soul Hat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been weeks now since the big fall. Until my little girl ran away. Since then I've been driving, hoping that I'll see you someday.
Big city she calls home now, working on a big career. She wanted to go to Chicago. But I wanted to stay here.
She calls me on the weekend, spitting news into my ear. Tell me about Chicago, nothing I want to hear, no.
Guess I don't mind being alone. Oh now I've got to be alone.
This city is my home now. I've got no money and no career. I don't want to go to Chicago. I like it here.
This city is my home now. I've got no money and no career. I don't want to go to Chicago. I like it here.
