| I was born in a city the called the 'Windy City' | |
| And they call it the 'Windy City' because of the 'Hawk'. | |
| All mighty Hawk, | |
| Talking about Mr. Wind kind of mean around winter time | |
| I happen to live on a street that was a dead-end street | |
| There was nothing to block or buffer the wind, the elements | |
| Keep them from knocking my pad down, Jim I mean really socking it to me | |
| And the boiler would bust and the heat was gone | |
| I would have to get fully dressed before I could go the bed | |
| Put everything on but my goulashes cause they had buckles on them | |
| And my folks didn't play that said don't you be getting up in there with | |
| Buckles on them goulashes and tear up my bed clothes but I was fortunate | |
| As soon as I was big enough to get a job save me enough money to buy me a ticket I split | |
| I got myself together now so I'm going back there to see about it see if it's still the same | |
| I just wanted to tell you about it, you know it's all right | |
| They say this is a big rich town I live in the poorest part | |
| I was raised on a dead-end street in a city without a heart | |
| I learned to fight before I was six only way I could get along | |
| But when you're raised on a dead-end street you have to be tough and strong | |
| Now all the guys are always getting in trouble that the way it's always been | |
| But when the odds are all against you how can you win | |
| I'm gonna push my way out of here ever thou I can't say when | |
| But I'm gonna get off of this dead-end street and I ain't never gonna coma back again | |
| I'm gonna push my way out of here ever thou I can't say when | |
| But I'm gonna get off of this dead-end street | |
| And I ain't never gonna come back to live here again | |
| Never, No I ain't gonna come back here to live on this dead-end street no more | |
| Cause I'm gonna get me a job, I'm gonna save my dough | |
| Get away from here you-all, I ain't gonna come back no more | |
| Not ever, dead-end street | |
| I tired of breaking my back gonna start using my mind | |
| Tired of working all of the time | |
| I say there's trouble down there | |
| I say there's trouble down there | |
| I say there's trouble down there yeah | |
| Down off a dead-end street | |
| Down off a dead-end street |
