Windy City

(album: Off The Record - 1977)

Listen to you
Listen to me
No one knows the reason
Why they wanna be free
Working all night
Working all day
Waiting for my money
And I can't get away
I wanna be rich man
But I'm only poor man
I got to get away

Waiting for the rising sun to shine on windy city
You can find a place to hide yourself in windy city

I've got to get away from windy city
Your dad's in the slam
Your mama's a whore
No one understands you
Couldn't help being poor
But when I get rich
I'll get my kicks
From giving it all away
Wanna be free
'Cause living ain't easy
Wanna be free
Cause that's how it's gonna be
I gotta be free

Waiting for the rising sun to shine on windy city
You can find a place to hide yourself in windy city

Gotta be free
Now I'm a rich man
Gotta be free
Don't wanna be this man
I gotta be free

Waiting for the rising sun to shine on windy city
You can find a place to hide yourself in windy city

I've got to get away from windy city
I don't wanna be a poor man
Don't wanna be a rich man
I gotta be free
I wanna be free
