I was born in a city that they call[00:00:14]

The Windy City[00:00:16]

And they call it the Windy City because of the Hawk[00:00:18]

The Hawk[00:00:22]

The Almighty Hawk[00:00:23]

Mister Wind[00:00:26]

Takes care of plenty business[00:00:27]

'Round winter time[00:00:29]

The place that I lived in[00:00:34]

Was on a street that uh[00:00:37]

Happened to be one of the dead end streets[00:00:39]

Where there was nothing to block[00:00:43]

The wind the elements[00:00:46]

Nothing to buffer them for me[00:00:48]

To keep 'em[00:00:51]

From knockin' my bed down d'y'hea'm[00:00:51]

I mean really sockin' it to me[00:00:55]

When the boiler would bust and the heat was gone d'y'hea'm[00:00:58]

I had to get fully dressed before I could go to bed[00:01:02]

Course I couldn't put on my goulashes 'cause they had buckles on 'em[00:01:05]

And my folks didn't play that[00:01:08]

They said don't you tear up my bed clothes wit' dem boot hushies on[00:01:09]

But I was fortunate[00:01:14]

Soon as I was big enough to get a job and save enough money[00:01:16]

Get a ticket[00:01:20]

Catch anything I split[00:01:21]

And I said one day I'm 'onna return[00:01:24]

And I'm gonna straighten it all out[00:01:27]

And I'm 'bout ready to go back now[00:01:30]

So I thought I'd tell you about it[00:01:32]

Ah they say this is a big rich town[00:01:37]

But I live in the poorest part[00:01:41]

I know I'm on a dead end street[00:01:46]

In a city without a heart[00:01:49]

I learned to fight before I was six[00:01:53]

The only way I could get along[00:01:57]

When you're raised on a dead end street[00:02:02]

You've gotta be tough and strong[00:02:05]

Now all the guys I know gettin' in trouble[00:02:09]

That's how it's always been[00:02:11]

When the odds are all against you[00:02:13]

How can you win[00:02:15]

Yeah[00:02:17]

Yeah yeah[00:02:19]

Ah Lord 'n' now yeah[00:02:22]

I'm gonna push my way out of here[00:02:28]

Even though I can't say when[00:02:31]

But I'm gonna get off of this dead end street[00:02:35]

And I ain't never gonna come back again[00:02:39]

Never[00:02:43]

No no no[00:02:47]

Oh now Lord[00:02:51]

Again now yeah[00:02:55]

I'm gonna push my way out of here[00:03:00]

Even though I can't say when[00:03:04]

But I'm gonna get off of this dead end street[00:03:07]

And I ain't gonna never come back again[00:03:11]

No no no[00:03:15]

I ain't gonna come back to this dead end street no more[00:03:17]

No[00:03:21]

'Cause I'm gonna get me a job[00:03:22]

I'm gonna save my dough[00:03:27]

Get away from here[00:03:32]

I ain't gonna come back no more[00:03:35]

I'm tired of a dead end street[00:03:39]

I want to get out in the world and learn something[00:03:44]

Tired of breakin' my back[00:03:47]

I want to start usin' my mind[00:03:51]
