From sour home Chicago, I hear it beating far away
Hopeful thoughts of soon returning, can't put out my stomach burning
And I was drinking you goodbye, a heart floats in the bay
5pm, 5 dollar pints, Hell bound Airlines, time and price
There's no telling what I'll do, if I don't return to you
Choking on the thought of leaving, drinking to keep from heaving
I was drinking you goodbye, a heart floats in the bay
And I was drinking you goodbye, a heart floats in the bay
From sour home Chicago, I hear it beating far away
I sink deep 30, 000 feet into my window seat, electric chair
There's no telling what I'll do, if I don't return to you
With all my happiness aborted, the PA painfully starts boarding
Plastic wings and plastic smiles, unsalted peanuts stretch my miles
From sour home Chicago, I hear it beating far away
