Never thought I'd see this day
Til my friend packed up and hopped a train
I sat on my front porch and drank all night
Sobered up with the morning sun
And the day didn't look like too much fun
So I walked the tracks feeling dead inside
Well I hope you find peace in Chicago
And keep your eyes delta bound
Cuz when this river's flowing upstream
We'll sit and watch as Memphis drowns
Never thought I'd feel this way
Til the summer sun faded to gray
I sat up at the bar and smoked all night
Got up to leave with the rising sun
Feeling like my time had finally come
And I wondered if I'd make it out alright
Well I hope I make it to Chicago
I'll keep my eyes delta bound
And when this river's flowing upstream
We'll sit and watch as Memphis drowns
Well I hope I make it to Chicago
I'll keep my eyes delta bound
And when this river's flowing upstream
We'll sit and watch as Memphis drowns
Or burns to the ground
