about

The 80's are back in a nostalgic big way with this song of mines. Take a listen to some of my good memories of growing up in the windy city. If you're from Chicago, you will remember a couple areas I'm referring to. Bop your heads unashamedly to this fun song.

lyrics

Way back!
We're going way back!

See, I was born
right at Cook County
At one sixteen p.m.
I was happy

I grew up
on the southeast side
of the famous
95th Dan Ryan

I had fun
just me and my friends
along with my sister
we kept running

'round the block
but that's where it ends
we couldn't wait to grow up

Oh boy, oh boy,
oh boyee yo ee yo ee yeah, yeah, yeah

(Chorus)
We used to lookout for each other
Play hide and side from yard to yard
Hey, get off my grass!
Go pick up your trash!
If you shovel my snow,
I'll pay you a little cash (uh huh)

Then we grew up seeing less of each other
Some graduated and some moved on
Some left out to start a new family
but I'm still here
but I'm still here
but I'm still here
But I wanna be on my own
But I wanna be on my own


We met up
We'd run to Commercial
The sidewalk sale
was something special

then I bought
what my parents want
then I'd get lost
reading comic books

then when I'm done
meet up with my friends
playing Donkey Kong, Centipede
and Pacman

that was fun
Ooh! But it's time to come home
before the streetlights come on
Oh no, oh no,
Oh no no no
It's too late

(Chorus)

But I wanna be on my own
Yes I wanna be on my own
But I wanna be on my own
Yes I wanna be on my own

When will it finally
happen for me?
Or am I forever destined
to live here
in the windy city?

I wonder...

But I'm still here
I'm still here
