Chicago

I gotta get to Chicago. I gotta get outta town.
  I'd take a Chariot if I could Love,
  although I think I'll take Greyhound.

  And there's a lesson in the air there.
  Spreading chill bugs all around. 
  And all the folks they're singing pretty,
  and making pretty,pretty sound.

  And I wanna love you in the morning.
  I wanna get into your hair.
  And I wanna love you without warning.
  And I wanna kiss you everywhere.

  And I gotta get to Chicago. I gotta get outta town.
  I'd take a Chariot if I could Love,
  although I think I'll take Greyhound.

  
  And you'll be catching travel fever.
  Watching the same rock rolling by.
  Feeling the bus vibrate beneath you.
  And Heaven bursting in the sky.

  And I wanna love you in the morning.
  I wanna get into your hair.
  And I wanna love you without warning.
  And I wanna kiss you everywhere.

It sounds like a song to me. I think with music it would sound pretty interesting, though I don't have a keen ear for such, so I couldn't imagine it. You had some interesting lines, I liked your rhymes. The poem seemed a bit forced though. Keep it up!
