lyrics

midwestern boys will always call Chicago home
in Minnesota the rust still eats right through the chrome
of the car we left behind
for the bus that took us west
to the place with the sun
where I can't get no rest

I'll tell you what I want if you promise to say no
I didn't mean to get so angry
just happened to be so
and the thing is
that the air here is poison
and all I wanna do is go home and see the boys and

midwestern boys
and midwestern girls
the stars all shining
through their curls
and we are home
if just for now
until we can find a new one
somehow

someday we'll head up north just to
see just what they know
cause down here all the kids have got
gravel in their throats
and although I kinda need it
you can't leave me alone tonight

in the land of mittens and great lakes
your heart won't be forsaken
and sometimes we would be bored
but I couldn't ask for more
and though the sands of time they change
and our lives they rearrange
these broken city blocks remind me of what I used to be

midwestern boys
and midwestern girls
the stars all shining
through their curls
and we are home
if just for now
until we can find a new one
somehow
midwestern boys
and midwestern girls
the stars all shining
through their curls
and we are home
if just for now
until we can find a new one
somehow
