Chicago Promenade Lyrics

My door is locked, my debts are paid.
I'll do the chicago promenade.
My back was turned i did not see
That shadow climbing up on me.
I took my turn at fixing hearts
But that goes bad before it starts.
I'm desperate now, i must say.
I'll do the chicago promenade.
If i die now before i'm old
My story will be less than told.
There's so much more to suffer through
Before i meet again with you.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e119959-jason_isbell~chicago_promenade_lyrics.html ]
I've tried so hard and i've been so blind.
I thought we could all grieve one at a time.

I lost a friend. It felt like five,
A man who wouldn't compromise.
I'll think of him on new year's day
And do the chicago promenade.
