Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best

Take me back to Chicago
Where my music was all I had
I tried to be as good as I could
And sometimes it made me sad

Take me back to Chicago, to Chicago
Oh oh oh oh
Take me back, take me back
Take me back to Chicago

I still dream of the lake of peacefulness
The warm summer breeze
'Cause my life was so much simpler then
Street corners and Tastee Freeze

Take me back to Chicago
'Cause hustlin's not my style
L.A. was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child

Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago, ho
Take me back, take me back
Take me back to Chicago, to Chicago
Yeah yeah yeah

Take me back
(Take me back, take me, ooh-h)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me, I wanna go back)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me back, right now)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me, cross the street, yeah)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me, city, yeah)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me, to the street)
Take me back
(Take me back, take, take me, city, back)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me, go south)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me, Southside)
Take me back
(Take me back, take me, ah)

Take me back
(Ah-h-h)
Take me back
(I wanna go, yeah, ah-h-h)
(City, yheah)
(A-h-h-h)
(Take me back, wow-w)
