Born and raised in the windy city
I moved West to kickstart a dream
What I found was a town without pity
Thatæ£l chew you up and swallow you clean
Iæ¦ amazed at the life Iæ¦ livin?br> Donæ° want to seem like Iæ¦ rockin?the boat
But it ainæ° all about taking but giving
I feel something tuggin?at my coat
No one ever told me it would be like this
That thereæ be something called home
Thatæ¯ too hard to miss
Iæ¦ saying goodbye to the glamour
Back to the old neighborhood
All that I need is a place I can breathe
Iæ¦ saying goodbye to Hollywood
Done my time in the hoodoo jungle
Tired of waking up in another manæ¯ dream
Iæ³e got the ball and I ainæ° gonna fumble
Gonna make a winner of this team
All that ever mattered were the goals I chased
Now Iæ¦ ready to run in the human race
Iæ¦ saying goodbye to the glamour
Life never tasted so good
All that I need is a place I can breathe
Iæ¦ saying goodbye to Hollywood
Me and the Mrs. Done made up our minds
Were gonna give our boys a little less sunshine
Call it runnin?say what you like
Iæ³e got my own definition of paradise
Iæ rather be knee deep in snow
Than knee deep in jive
I may be cold but my soul is alive
Iæ¦ saying goodbye to the glamour
Back to the old neighborhood
All I need is a place I can breathe
Iæ¦ saying goodbye to Hollywood
