Sidewalks of Chicago — текст песни (Merle Haggard)





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
