Chicago Promenade Lyrics - Jason Isbell

My door is locked, my debts are paid 

I'll do the Chicago promenade 

My back was turned I did not see 

That shadow climbing up on me 

I took my turn at fixing hearts 

But that goes bad before it starts 

I'm desperate now, I must say 

I'll do the Chicago promenade 

If I die now before I'm old 

My story will be less than told 

There's so much more to suffer through 

Before I meet again with you 

I've tried so hard and I've been so blind 

I thought we could all grieve one at a time

I lost a friend, it felt like five 

A man who wouldn't compromise 

I'll think of him on New Year's Day 

And do the Chicago promenade
