Taking It On Uptown - Chicago

Walkin through the fog on a cold and cloudy night

Lookin through the smog that surrounds the mornin light

The shades of brown.

it gets me down, exactly like my life

I dont deserve the hand Im dealt, a flush in spades of strife

Ive grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore

So Im rounding up the broken me and headin on out the door

Without no lag Im packin my bag of discontented frowns

And hopping numer eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound

Got my bag of many frowns and Im takin it on uptown

Big city lights

Funkier nights

Happier days

Goin my way

It should be right

But Im still uptight

Hey, I better put down

And get movin on Im through with aggravation

Dont deserve the degradation

Im putting all the negatives down

To hop the train thats feedom bound for uptown

Got my bag of many frowns and Im takin it on uptown
