lyrics
I grew up in a small town near Pekin
Where going to the Wal*mart
Was how you killed time
You might be there for a Snickers,
Or a cheap pair of knickers,
But some good friends is all you required
That's where I met
This young flower named Annie
I was home wherever we'd meet
Until she ran off to St. Louie
With a fella who looked like Chewie,
And she forgot me like one of your tweets,
So I went to Chi-Town to forget them
That's where I saw you
In your stripes and denim
You took me out to some shows
To see some bands I didn't know,
And you told me
I could join in your scene,
But I had to decline
I'd go out of my mind
I'm certain, and here's why:
Because there ain't no Casey's in Chicago,
So why the hell would I go out there?
They're wearing shiny shoes
And suit coats
And I've got horse feed in my hair
I could never get my Casey's Taco Pizza
No, I could never call the city home
My long lost lover lives in Litchfield,
So that's where I'll be calling home
You were lovely. I cannot deny,
But the smog clogged up both of your eyes
You said you were learning to be a lover,
But you still got sick if your other
Was in the same room while you cried,
So I went to my booth at the tavern
Where I could laugh with everyone there
Until, one night, I was spotted
She always got what she wanted
Her hair was red, Y’all
She fixed me whiskey in bed,
So I can't go with you
No, I've got better things to do
Your city can fall in the swamp
My darling dear dwells in Decatur,
So that's where I'll be crawling home
