Tough Streets Of Chicago
Tough streets of Chicago,
you made me who I am.Tough streets of Chicago, for me you had a plan.You forced
me to observe, what kids my age did not.You taught me to look and see, always
looking for a plot.You taught me to react, and kept me on my toes.You taught me
to examine, the actions of my foes.You forced me to react, in situations
dire.You made sure I would function, when I came under fire.You made sure I was
tough, made sure I'd understand, the skills that I would need, when I joined
uncle Sam.Tough streets of Chicago, I almost went insane.Tough streets of
Chicago, you caused me so much pain.You made me grow up fast, always dodging
death.You made me run from danger, could hardly catch my breath.You took most of
my friends, why, I'll never understand.You made it possible to count, all my
friends on one hand.You took them in their teens, you took them very young.You
took them way before, to live they had begun.Tough streets of Chicago, my tour
is almost up.Tough streets of Chicago, with your gangster posting up.Tough
streets of Chicago, can't get you off my mind.Tough streets of Chicago, I miss
those streets of mine.Tough streets of Chicago...............................
Chicago Sunrise
I was travelling the new worldand on my
way from north to south I found myself in ChicagoI saw the sunrise and forgot
about youIt shone a different lightand I escaped you - there is someone else on
my mind for now It brought to light the windy city, cold and bleak, like the
embers of you and me I knew I was off to a better places where the sun shines,
clearing my headthere you fade with the setting sunvictoria mcvicar
