Tom Waits: "Chicago" Video, Stream, Lyrics

"Chicago" kicks off the wild trip that is Tom Wait's new record, Bad As Me. Chugging along on the backs of a handful of horns, the song's narrator laments the sad state of his hometown and decides to follow his woman to Chicago... where things may be better.

"Chicago"
The seeds are planted here
But they won’t grow
We won’t have to say goodbye
If we all go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
To leave all we’ve ever known
For a place we’ve never seen
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Well It’s braver to stay
Even braver to go
Wherever she goes I go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago

What we need the lord will give us
All we want we carry with us
You know where I can be found
Where the rainbow hits the ground
I’m not alone
I’m not afraid
This bird has flown from his cage
There’s so much magic we have known
On this sapphire we call home
With my coat and my hat
I say goodbye to all that
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
