Chicago Blues
Got the Chicago blues
Got the Chicago blues
Payin' Chicago dues
Payin' Chicago dues
Got to get away
Gotta split this crazy scene
I love Chicago but all it does is treat me mean
I'm sick and tired of singin' on street corners all my life
The only folks that hear me
Are the bums that roam the streets at night
Got the Chicago blues
Got the Chicago blues
Payin' Chicago dues
Payin' Chicago dues
Sometimes it just don't pay gettin' out of bed
I'm just so far behind, can't seem to keep my head
Sometimes I wonder girl will I ever make the grade
Uninspired and underloved
Overworked and underpaid
Got the Chicago blues
Got the Chicago blues
Payin' Chicago dues
Payin' Chicago dues
All I want, all I need
Is a little bit of space and a little fresh air to breathe
Got to sing my song, got to get away
Gotta get on that westbound train headin' for California
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta, gotta get on board
Gotta
Got the Chicago blues
Got the Chicago blues
Got the Chicago blues
