Video Chicago de Shawn James 2024 Lyrics Lyrics

Shawn James - Chicago Lyrics

I come come from a land
where the winters are long and cold
Where the ice crawls over the lake
and the strong winds blow
Where old men are tough and tell tales of old
A sore back for a hard day's work
used to feed their souls
Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you
til I left and came back
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you
til I left and came back

My father was a steel working man
With an old style in his hand
he used to stomp across these lands
We buried him here between Roosevelt and 110
I still visit his grave every now and then

Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you
til I left and came back
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you
til I left and came back

I used to lay my head
where kings and stones held ground
The warring in these streets, it still makes an awful sound
Innocence wouldn't stray their rounds
Bullets broke the windows
as our bodies hit the ground

Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you
til I left and came back
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you
til I left and came back

It took awhile to understand these facts
That made me who I am and gave me insight to react
Now I stand proud in being from this land
And maybe you can learn
from my experience firsthand

Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you
til I left and came back
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you
til I left and came back

Chicago
Chicago
Chicago
