Marshall Tucker Band - Windy City Blues lyrics

rate me

I'm sittin' in Chicago on the thirtieth floor

Lookin' down on the city below

My heart is cold as the wind through the streets

And outside it's starting to snow

Weeks ago I left you in sunny Caroline

Sittin' in our home in the pines

I got a job to do that takes me away from you

But your love still remains on my mind

I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town

Since I met her she's made my life so sound

She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine

She's the best thing that I'll ever find

The city lights have gone

And the night has brought a storm

And soon I'll be headin' home to you

I can taste your wine

Though it's been a long, long time

No more will I have the Chicago blues

I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town

Since I met her she's made my life so sound

She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine

She's the best thing that I'll ever find

Look, look around there's snow on the ground

What a cold hard life that I've known

But my love still glows like the city below

Because of all the love she's shown

I'm on a southbound train

Takin' me away from this snow

Takin' me where I really want to go

Out of these chilly winds and havin' no friends

I need the warmth of your sweet lovin' soul

I'm in love with that girl from that roebuck town

Since I met her she's made my life so sound

She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine all mine

She's the best thing that I'll ever find

Got the windy city blues
