Текст песни Sidewalks of Chicago

(Dave Kirby)

Mhm these Levi's that I'm wearin' have been good to me
They just won't admit they're growing old
And though my shirt's made contact with a gutter now and then
At least it keeps my body from the cold.

Thank God 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 succsseed.

Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago
If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine
Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago
Wishing I had lived some other time.Merle Haggard - Sidewalks of Chicago - http://ru.motolyrics.com/merle-haggard/sidewalks-of-chicago-lyrics.html

I wasn't here too long before I met her
And the lady she really swept me off my feet
And she stayed just long enough to make 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
But she don't know that 109 East Charlotte
Is the address of the East Side Mission Home.

Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago
If I buy the bread I can't afford the wine
Now I'm walking on the sidewalks of Chicago
Wishing I had lived some other time...
