Cold Hearts / Closed Minds Lyrics - From A Distance - Nanci Griffith

My bags are waiting in a cab downstairs 

I've got a ticket in my pocket says I'll make it out of here 

And I came by here just to tell you good-by 

I can see it in your face, you don't want to know why 

I made up my mind late last night 

That I would leave your city behind 

Oh, and love is not in question 

When you're holding the answer 

In your cold heart and your closed mind 

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind 

Out in these streets these people are angry 

Well, they push and shove one another aside 

Well, I worked from the heart and you worked for the money 

But I paid the price for your will to survive 

I made up my mind late last night 

That I would leave your city behind 

Oh, and love is not in question 

When you're holding the answer 

In your cold heart and your closed mind 

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind 

Chicago roars like a Midwest hurricane 

I see that storm in your eyes 

One of these mornings when you're making your way 

Just gonna wash you out with the tide 

My bags are waiting in a cab downstairs 

I've got a ticket in my pocket says I'll make it out of here 

And I came by here just to tell you good-by 

I can see it in your face, you don't want to know why 

I made up my mind late last night 

That I would leave your city behind 

Oh, and love is not in question 

When you're holding the answer 

In your cold heart and your closed mind 

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind 

You've got a cold heart and a closed mind
