I'm sittin' in Chicago on the thirtieth floor Lookin' down on the city below My heart is cold as the wind through the streets And outside it's starting to snow
Weeks ago I left you in sunny Caroline Sittin' in our home in the pines I got a job to do that takes me away from you But your love still remains on my mind
I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town Since I met her she's made my life so sound She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine She's the best thing that I'll ever find
The city lights have gone And the night has brought a storm And soon I'll be headin' home to you I can taste your wine Though it's been a long, long time No more will I have the Chicago blues
I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town Since I met her she's made my life so sound She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine She's the best thing that I'll ever find
Look, look around there's snow on the ground What a cold hard life that I've known But my love still glows like the city below Because of all the love she's shown
I'm on a southbound train Takin' me away from this snow Takin' me where I really want to go Out of these chilly winds and havin' no friends I need the warmth of your sweet lovin' soul
I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town Since I met her she's made my life so sound She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine She's the best thing that I'll ever find Got the windy city blues
