The world is blocked out in the bedroom The radio won't let her down Every note is a reminder Another failure is born Thirty miles outside Chicago Kids know what's really going on Still this gravel highway makes a statement We're another town gone wrong Chorus: Moving out and moving on You used to look like me Moving out and moving on forever And this autumn air reminds How things all slowly unwind Changing times have been unkind to you As these days they slip away We grow closer to our graves Had the best time of my life without you It's three months since I've seen Chicago Now the buildings aren't so tall I found our initials in the pavement Just another dream gone wrong Chorus I bet it's simpler today Throwing everything away But the memory remains forever And this autumn air reminds How things all slowly unwind Changing times have been unkind to you As these days they slip away We grow closer to our graves Had the best time of my life without you
