Winter in Chicago

Winter in Chicago - Flatfoot 56

In this land of the bitter cold

Where the dead still have their say

Winter storms that I've survived in

This year's the worst I've ever seen

More crooks than a rusty saw blade

Yet the blues take it all away

Rail cars all herd together

'Cause they know that it's the place to be

And it's alright

'Cause it's winter in Chicago and I'm stuck on Lake Shore Drive

And there's no work the frost it bites

'Cause it's winter in Chicago and the Hawks are on tonight

Yeah it's alright

Big shoulders of the windy city

Carry more ca'use they take the reins

Big mouths do a lot of talking

Carve an X in the good old runway

But still a place of progress

If you know how to play the game

Hey boss now here's my story

Another day goes by on the midwest plains

And it's alright

'Cause it's winter in Chicago and I'm stuck on Lake Shore Drive

And there's no work the frost it bites

'Cause it's winter in Chicago and the Hawks are on tonight

Yeah it's alright

Until it's two o'clock in the morning

Just too early in the morning

And the world comes crashing down around

So hard to win gotta face the world and start again

And it's alright

'Cause it's winter in Chicago and I'm stuck on Lake Shore Drive

And there's no work the frost it bites

'Cause it's winter in Chicago and the Hawks are on tonight

Yeah it's alright

Yeah it's alright

Yeah it's alright

Yeah it's alright

Yeah it's alright alright alright

Yeah it's alright alright alright

Yeah it's alright alright alright

Yeah it's alright
