about

A song about missing home and longing for a new one.

lyrics

Well I packed my bags and I moved out west told my mom and dad that it's for the best and you know
I'll be making it big one day

Tell ole Chicago I'll write home when I can, and please remind her it's all part of the plan and she knows I'll be making it big one day.

Midwestern moon, I'll be seeing you soon, don't go nowhere.
Midwestern moon, I'll see you in June, on my life I swear
Midwestern moon, we can sleep until noon, we ain't goin' nowhere

Well I woke up early from that four year dream, I called you up so I could blow off some steam
I feel high, and I'll be gettin' up someday

That dark gets heavy right before the dawn and though I walk through the valley of silicon, I'll be alright
I'll make it out one day

Back to that Midwestern moon, I'll be seeing you soon, don't go nowhere.
Midwestern moon, I'll see you in June, on my life I swear
Midwestern moon, we can sleep until noon, we ain't goin' nowhere

I go out riding when it's late at night, hoping that somebody will start a fight and you know
I'll go down swinging one day

Everybody's different but they feel the same and I think of my home but can't remember the name of the ghost
That's living inside my brain

Hear that big ocean and it's callin me down we can dance in the dark there ain't nobody around and you know
We'll be looking up one day

At that Midwestern moon, I'll be seeing you soon, don't go nowhere.
Midwestern moon, I'll see you in June, on my life I swear
Midwestern moon, we can sleep until noon, we ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin nowhere, we ain't going nowhere on my life I swear
We ain't goin nowhere, we ain't going nowhere on my life I swear
