Windy City Soul

I can begin to tell you

All the places that I've been

While my traveling days are over now

I'm heading home again

See the windy city skyline

Getting closer all the while

I know I won't be happy

Till I see my lady smile

Can't wait to see my lady

With the windy city smile

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

I left a sweet Chicago girl

To be a Travelin' man

Moving from town to town

Living from hand to hand

Sometimes you leave the girl you love

To find where you belong

I went down the highway

Singing a windy city song

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Makes one part frustration

Some tender, love, and care

One part adaptation

Sweet music in the air

One part hesitation

Some of that ol' sweet jelly roll

You've got to heap for helping

Of that windy city soul (Nah, nah)

You've got to heap for helping

Of that windy city soul

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

If the things make a city

If changes make a woman mine

I couldn't get myself together

Had to leave them both behind

And if that's all passing

I'm heading home

With some goldust up my sleeve

I'll make the lady mine again

And then I'll never ever leave

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah

And now I can't forget the ghetto

The feeling runs too deep

There are things that I must do

Secrets I must keep

I can't forget the love I left

I had to break away

I want the whole wide world to know

I know I'm heading home one day

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah
