It ain't the heat in Texas
That burns me up inside
It's the memory of the day
When I left you behind
Sunday smells like breakfast
And Saturday feels like rain
I'm reminded of the good times
I can't forget the pain of when I
I said goodbye
To the city of Chicago, baby
I said goodbye to you
And I settled down
Movin' on and getting over lately
I said goodbye to you
Dear Joe, dear Joe
If you hear this on the radio
You should know
Now and then I think about you
Dear Joe, dear Joe
I want everybody here to know
I'm getting by but barely through, it's true, it's true
When I said goodbye
To the city of Chicago, baby
I said goodbye to you
And I settled down
Movin' on and getting over lately
I said goodbye to you
We got dreams of the future, ghosts of the past
Will it fade this time, will it last and last
I got hopes for tomorrow, regrets from yesterday
Will it last this time, will it fade and now
And now, and now, and now
When I said goodbye
To the city of Chicago, baby
And I said goodbye to you, that's true, that's true
And I settled down
I'm moving on and getting over lately
And mostly I still think about you, that's true, that's true
I still think about you
I still think about you
It ain't the heat in Texas
That burns me up inside
It's the memory of the day when I left you behind
