Iowa to Chicago

Текст песни

[Verse 1] I was raised on corn rows And fence-post prayers Dad’s old John Deere Parked in the barn out there Now I ride the L on With my boots still caked Got soy on my knuckles And a skyline shake [Pre-Chorus] I miss that gravel road I miss that red dirt draw But I learned this town Still got room for my heart [Chorus] Farm boy from Iowa Lost in Chicago Same mud on my soul Just a different road Farm boy from Iowa Still says yes ma'am slow I brought the wide-open fields To the side of the glow [Verse 2] My lunchbox days are gone But I kept that work Every cold sunrise Taught me how to hurt I stack up rent money On a South Side shift Then call my mama back Just to tell her this [Pre-Chorus] I miss that gravel road I miss that red dirt draw But I learned this town Still got room for my heart [Chorus] Farm boy from Iowa Lost in Chicago Same mud on my soul Just a different road Farm boy from Iowa Still says yes ma'am slow I brought the wide-open fields To the side of the glow [Bridge] If you see me looking homeward I’m just counting stars Off a broken window And a parked-up car I ain’t changed my roots I just stretched 'em far From the county line To where the tall buildings are [Chorus] Farm boy from Iowa Lost in Chicago Same mud on my soul Just a different road Farm boy from Iowa Still says yes ma'am slow I brought the wide-open fields To the side of the glow [Outro] Yeah, I brought the wide-open fields To the side of the glow
