Sidewalks of Chicago

歌詞

The Levi's that I'm wearing have been good to me They just won't admit they're growing old And though my shirt's made contract with a gutter now and then At least it keeps my body from the cold Thank God the folks back home in Harlan County Can't see what success has done for me Would you believe that kids in Harlan High School Voted me most likely to successeed Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine Yes I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago Wishing I'd have lived some other time I wasn't here too long before I met her The lady really swept me off my feet She stayed just long enough for me to 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 every day since I've been gone She don't know that 109 East Charlotte Is the adress of the East Side Mission Home And I'm walking on the sidewalks... Yes I'm walking on the sidewalks...
