By this time tomorrow

Youll be out on the streets of Chicago

Walking all the way home from commuter trains



By this time tomorrow

Youll be back at home in Chicago

At the bars until they close

Back at places that youve known and

Itll be skylines and rooftops

And its gonna be crowded tourist stops



So its goodbye

To your brand new life

So its good luck

Best wishes to your black lung



By this time tomorrow

Youll be walking home thru Chicago

Past the nine to five crowds underneath

Those unused fire escapes

By this time tomorrow

Youll be at the bars in Chicago

Back with people that you know

Going places you used to go

Its gonna be skylines and rooftops

And its gonna be crowded tourist stops



So its goodbye

To your brand new life

So its good luck

Best wishes to your black lung

So when youre leaving the party just to beat the crowd

Just make sure that youre the first one out
