Take me back to chicago

Lay my soul to rest

Where my life was free and easy

Remember me at my best



Take me back to chicago

Where music was all i had

I tried to be good as i could

And sometimes that made me sad



Take me back to chicago, to chicago

Why don't you take me back

Take me back, take me back

To chicago



I still dream of the lake of peacefulness

The warm summer breeze

'cause my life was so much simpler then

Street corners and tastee freeze



Take me back to chicago

'cause hustlin's not my style

L.a. was just a bit too hard

I wish i could be a child



Livin' back in chicago, in chicago

Why don't you take me back

Take me back, take me back

To chicago



Take me back to chicago

Lay my soul to rest

Where my life was free and easy

Remember me at my best



Take me back to chicago

'cause hustlin's not my style

L.a. was just a bit too hard

I wish i could be a child

Livin' back in chicago, in chicago

Why don't you take me back

Take me back, take me back

To chicago



Take me back, take me back....
