I Tried To Save The World Once - Smiling Eyes (Off To Chicago) Lyrics
Jumped out of the van, my guitar in handMet smiling eyes with this girl in line'Cause I got a thing for girls in skinny jeans,And she's got a thing for a guy with a 6 stringShe played a good game of hard to getBut she was no match for my southern accentShe pulled me close and kissed my lips and said,"you'll write a song about this."My boys are gonna hear about this one in the van tomorrowOn the way to chicagoI kissed a pretty little lady from the 313 and she's taken,Oh yeah she's taken a hold of meI'm singing her to sleep, it's the sweetest thingShe said "take me back to sweet home alabama"But she's got school and I've got a job to do,So I'm off to chicagoThe boys can take the van, I'll just take your handBetween you and me we've got all that we need'Cause I've got a thing for girls that are out of my leagueAnd she's got a thing for guys with big city dreamsWe made vows with rings from quarter machines"I swear I'll never leave you... 'til the sunrise"With a crooked smile I bit my lip and said,"I swear I'll never forget this"My boys are gonna hear about this one in the van tomorrowOn the way to chicagoI kissed a pretty little lady from the 313 and she's taken,Oh yeah she's taken a hold of meI'm singing her to sleep, it's the sweetest thingShe said, "take me back to sweet home alabama"But she's got school and I've got a job to doSo I'm off to chicagoI'll get in the van but I'll be looking backThis is so much harder than we ever imaginedI picked you flowers to remember me by,Never forget me and they'll never dieMy boys are gonna hear about this one in the van right nowOn the way to chicago
