Merle Haggard - Sidewalks Of Chicago Lyrics

Font:

Align:

The Levis that I'm wearin' have beeen good to me

They just won't admit they're growin' old

Though my shirt's made contact with the gutter, now and then

At least it keeps my body from the cold

Thank God, folks back home in Harland County

Can't see what success has done to me

Would you believe the kids in Harland High School

Voted me most likely to succeed

Now I'm walkin' on the sidewalks of Chicago

If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine

Now I'm walkin' on the sidewalks of Chicago

Wishin' I had lived some other time

I wasn't here too long before I met her

And then later she really swept me off my feet

And she stayed just long enough to make me love her

And now they're sweepin' me up off the street

My mama thinks I've really hit the big time

She's written ever day since I've been gone

But she doesn't know that 109 West Charolette

Is the address of the West Side Mission Home

Now I'm walkin' on the sidewalks of Chicago

If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine

Now I'm walkin' on the sidewalks of Chicago

Wishin' I had lived some other time
