I lost my man, to the whiskey and my heart in my hand Been holding on for two years too long Took a roll on his brother's couch When his love for me fizzled out There's no comfort For a crazy child filled with loss No easy way out Yeah the Midwest keeps shakin' but this girl be headin' North I love my way, on a road paved in disarray And I followed it a thousand miles or more Saw a face in the painted sky Saw the light leave my daddy's eye There's no comfort for a crazy child anymore No easy way out Yeah the Midwest keeps shakin' but this girl be headin' North Yeah Chicago keeps shakin' but this girl be headin' North
