Chi-Town Lyrics by Barefoot Surrender

Barefoot Surrender

2013

You take a ride with Uncle Pete
From old Eau Claire
Down to Chi-Town and you're halfway there
Ya been livin that life without a care
(A friend with a house to share!)
Well we made a lot of money down in Lincoln Square
(Collected our funds and got the fuck out of there!)

Well I've seen a lot of choo-choos in ole' Chi-Town
But none of them appear to be Nashville bound
I'm tired of cheap coffee, sleepin on the ground
(Strings don't play anymore!)
Runnin out of money, runnin out of food
(Just tryin to keep a good attitude!)

{Instrumental}

You see the dirty pervert truck driver in Effingham
Who swears he ain't bound for the southern land
It's getting harder and harder to understand
(Why no one wants to help a southbound band!)
Well he's hoping for a woman and I'm hoping for a man
(I'm holdin onto nothin as tight as I can!)

{Instrumental}

You take a ride with Uncle Pete
From old Eau Claire
Down to Chi-Town and you're halfway there
Ya been livin that life without a care
(A friend with a house to share!)
We made a lot of money down in Lincoln Square
(Collected our funds and got the fuck out of there!)

Well I've seen a lot of choo-choos in ole' Chi-Town
But none of them appear to be Nashville bound
I'm tired of cheap coffee, sleepin on the ground
(Strings don't play anymore!)
Runnin out of money, runnin out of food
(Just tryin to keep a good attitude!)
