|
I wasn't born in |
|
Chigaco, But |
|
I can play the blues. |
|
I wasn't part of no union, |
|
But I paid my dues. |
|
I never got into a train wreck, |
|
But I went off the rails. |
|
I never went under the hammer, 'cause |
|
I was hard as nails. |
|
I never swam in dirty water, |
|
But my name was mud. |
|
I never knew you was a virus, |
|
But you got into my blood. |
|
I never was a politician, |
|
But I learned to lie. |
|
I never led a delegation, |
|
I was too smart to try. |
|
I wasn't born in |
|
Chigaco, But |
|
I can play the blues. |
|
I wasn't part of no union, |
|
But I paid my dues. |
|
I never was no kind of prisoner, |
|
But I've been to jail. |
|
And I was never in a train wreck, |
|
But I went off the rails, big time. |
|
I never swam in dirty water, |
|
But my name was mud. |
|
I never knew you was a virus, |
|
You got into my blood, blood. |
|
I wasn't born in |
|
Chigaco, But |
|
I can play the blues, ah. |
