Lyrics:Back To Chicago

by Lynne Thigpen

I've known the road, far much too long You know a hotel's just not a home But now I'm going back, said I'm going back to Chicago I've been to Broadway, I made the rounds I've had my taste of fame in the crowds But now I'm going back, said I'm going back to Chicago Will anyone remember me? It feels so long, it wasn't so long ago I'm gonna stand on the corner and sing "I'm finally home!" I've been to Reno, to Rome and Iraq But in my heart there's just something they lack So now I'm going back, said I'm going back to Chicago... Windy City! I wonder if anybody remember me? It wasn't so long, but it was so long ago I'm going down to the South Side and scream "Hey everybody, I'm home!" I've been to Lima, to Chad and L.A. Y'know the feeling just ain't the same So I'm going back, said I'm going back I've got to get myself back, yes I do, maybe I'll take a plane 'Cause I got to get back, said I'm going back to my home... Chicago!
