(M. Skoller)

 


Stranded on the westside


Where the lawless bandits roam


Looking for my westside woman


She ain't at home


There's an old man on the corner


With a weathered leather face


There's two million stories


Hidden in that lonesome place


I wanna ask him questions


of love, brimstone, and fire


I'm gettin really paranoid


He may be wearin a wire


(Chorus) 
Chicago wind


You have blown me to my knees


I can't change my position


I got no more energy


I played in every ashtray


From Chi-town to Paris France


I'm gonna leave the city


Give the country another chance


The Hawk don't cut as hard


When it's blowin through the trees


But rippin down a Chi-town alley


It'll cut you half in three


(Chorus) 
Chicago wind


You have blown me to my knees


I can't change my position


I got no more energy


I long stopped apologizin


For things I got to say


I'm keepin to myself


It's a price I gotta pay


Let the purists hold their court


And ignore old Father Time


But strength comes from mixin


And my baby sure is fine
(Chorus)
 Chicago wind


You have blown me to my knees


I can't change my position

 
I got no more energy
Chicago wind (repeat through vamp out)
