CHICAGO WIND
(M. Skoller)
Stranded on the westside
Where the lawless bandits roam
Looking for my westside woman
She ain't at home
There's an old man on the corner
With a weathered leather face
There's two million stories
Hidden in that lonesome place
I wanna ask him questions
of love, brimstone, and fire
I'm gettin really paranoid
He may be wearin a wire
(Chorus) Chicago wind
You have blown me to my knees
I can't change my position
I got no more energy
I played in every ashtray
From Chi-town to Paris France
I'm gonna leave the city
Give the country another chance
The Hawk don't cut as hard
When it's blowin through the trees
But rippin down a Chi-town alley
It'll cut you half in three
(Chorus) Chicago wind
You have blown me to my knees
I can't change my position
I got no more energy
I long stopped apologizin
For things I got to say
I'm keepin to myself
It's a price I gotta pay
Let the purists hold their court
And ignore old Father Time
But strength comes from mixin
And my baby sure is fine
(Chorus) Chicago wind
You have blown me to my knees
I can't change my position
I got no more energy
Chicago wind (repeat through vamp out) |
