About this lyric:

Pokey LaFarge’s single “So Long Chicago” has been described as a delightful blend of traditional American music styles, including country, gospel, blues, and bluegrass, all with a cheerful twist. The song is part of the lead-up to his upcoming album “Rhumba Country,” and it seems to strike a balance between bubblegum music, country, and blues. The track features cool guitar parts, full drums, and fantastic harmonies, making it an excellent soundtrack for a relaxed barbecue or cocktail party. The lyrics, ‘So long Chicago, hello Mexico,’ reflect a vacation vibe, as Americans often seek a beach getaway from the city life

The new album “Rhumba Country” is set to be released on May 10, and it’s expected to incorporate a mix of exotic African and South American influences, informed by LaFarge’s love of mambo, tropicalia, rocksteady, and early rock ‘n’ roll2. It’s clear that Pokey LaFarge continues to be a significant figure in North American music, bringing his stylish and cool persona to the forefront of traditional music with a modern twist.

Who's the man with the farmer's tan
Hotel slippers margarita in his hand
Lots of juice lots of spice 
Me and mamacita going to roll the dice
I ain't no high roller 
I'm a weekly bowler
I've been saving my dough yeah 
To fly me out of the snow 
It's so long Chicago 
Hello Mexico
It's so long Chicago 
Hello Mexico
Nver been west of the Mississippi 
Never seen the beach 
Never been out the city
Tide is out but I'm  I'm jumping in
This flat lander's gonna learn to swim
I ain't no high roller 
I'm a weekly bowler
I've been saving my dough yeah 
To fly me out of the snow 
It's so long Chicago 
Hello Mexico
It's so long Chicago 
Hello Mexico
I ain't no high roller 
I'm a weekly bowler
I've been saving my dough yeah 
To fly me out of the snow 
It's so long Chicago 
Hello Mexico
It's so long Chicago 
Hello Mexico
