I lost my man, to the whiskey and my heart in my hand
Been holding on for two years too long
Took a roll on his brother's couch
When his love for me fizzled out
There's no comfort for a crazy child filled with loss
No easy way out
Yeah the Midwest keeps shakin' but this girl be headin' North
I love my way, on a road paved in disarray
And I followed it a thousand miles or more
Saw a face in the painted sky
Saw the light leave my daddy's eye
There's no comfort for a crazy child anymore
No easy way out
Yeah the Midwest keeps shakin' but this girl be headin' North
Yeah Chicago keeps shakin' but this girl be headin' North
