|
Pulling my guitar out of its green velvet case |
|
A hundred settlers staring at my face |
|
And a note from a fan estan young |
|
And the note is on an inspection from air Canada |
|
|
|
Sitting at the Days Inn Hotel Chicago |
|
Room 222 with the ceiling fan on low |
|
And I just got in the door from Ontario |
|
And I'm going home tomorrow |
|
|
|
I took a walk down Lincoln Avenue |
|
Got myself a foot massage and a manicure too |
|
And I Looked up at the marquee and hey was my name |
|
Next to Julie Holland, think that was her name |
|
|
|
Sunshine in Chicago makes me think about my dad |
|
It was eight or nine siblings that I'm told that he had |
|
When the summertime came his parents put him on a bus |
|
And sent him to his uncles in Chicago for three months |
|
|
|
Sunshine in Chicago makes me sad |
|
My band played here a lot in the nineties when we had |
|
A lot of female fans and fuck they all were cute |
|
Now I just sign posters for guys in tennis shoes |
|
|
|
Tomorrow I'll get up at a quarter after nine |
|
No itching or burning like I got the other time |
|
My back it fucking hurts but otherwise I'm fine |
|
Sunshine in Chicago |
