Sun Kil Moon - Sunshine in Chicago lyrics

Pulling my guitar out of
It's green velvet case
A hundred setlists staring at my face
And a note from a fan is stiff and yellow
And a notice of inspection from Air Canada

Sitting at the Days Inn Hotel, Chicago
Room 222, with the ceiling fan low
And I just got in the door from Ontario
And I'm going home tomorrow

I took a walk down to Lincoln Avenue
Got myself a foot massage and a manicure, too
And I looked up at the marquee
And hey it was my name
Next to Julie Holland
Think that was her name
Sunshine in Chicago makes me
Think about my dad
It was eight or nine siblings I
Am told that he had
When the summertime came his parents
Put him on a bus and sent him to his uncles
In Chicago for three months

Sunshine in Chicago makes me feel pretty sad
My band played here a lot in the '90s
When we had lots of female fans and fuck
They all were cute
Now I just sign posters for
Guys in tennis shoes

Tomorrow I'll get up at a quarter after nine
No itching or burning like I
Got the other time my back it fucking hurts
But otherwise I'm fine

Sunshine in Chicago
