Lyrics Chicago Bound - Johnny Rivers

(Harmonica Intro)

Well I left out of Georgia 1964, my baby begged me daddy please don't go
But I left that town, you know I left that town
When I left out of Georgia you know I was Memphis bound

Well I stayed in Memphis in 1969, that woman I loved didn't pay me no mind
So I left that town, you know I left that town
When I left out of Memphis you know I was St. Louis bound

(Harmonica Solo)

I didn't need no steam heat by my bed, lady I slept with kept it cherry red
Well I left that town, hmm I left that town
When I left St. Louis you know I was Chicago bound

(Piano Solo)

I'm gonna tell you something you oughta know, Chicago's the best place I ever knowed
I'ma stay in this town, I'ma live in this town
Chicago's the place it's the baddest place around

(Guitar Solo)
