Kickin' back out in the country
Easing my bone
Snoozing' right out in the open
Deserted by my telephone
Nobody 'round for miles
No screamin' in my ears
No rock 'n' roll on my radio
They ain't even got my brand of beer
Pullin' on my fuse
I get the itchin' to burn
Sunset's in my rear view
Stars are showin' me whereto turn
Windy city breakdown
That's drivin' me on home
City slicker shakedown
Proves you got me on the run
I need a pretty take down
If she can keep score I'm game
Windy city breakdown
The mighty hawk is callin' my name
Silver marquees are glowin'
The midnight show unwinds
Popcorn pigeon and parkin' meters are
Clickin' in 3/4 time rush street mamas
Shot their stuff, love for sale
I ain't needin' to buy if she's good to my eye
Who can tell
Taverns with their doors wide open
Wait to make their kill
Sailor boys and G.I. Joes
Makin' sure they get their fill
Windy city breakdown
That's drivin' me on home
City slicker shakedown
Proves you got me on the run
I need a pretty take down
If she can keep score I'm game
Windy city breakdown
The mighty hawk is callin' my name
