Текст (слова) песни: Merle Haggard - Sidewalks of Chicago
The Levis that I`m wearin` have beeen good to me They just won`t admit they`re growin` old Though my shirt`s made contact with the gutter, now and then At least it keeps my body from the cold
Thank God, folks back home in Harland County Can`t see what success has done to me Would you believe the kids in Harland High School Voted me most likely to succeed
Now I`m walkin` on the sidewalks of Chicago If I buy the bread I can`t afford the wine Now I`m walkin` on the sidewalks of Chicago Wishin` I had lived some other time
I wasn`t here too long before I met her And then later she really swept me off my feet And she stayed just long enough to make me love her And now they`re sweepin` me up off the street
My mama thinks I`ve really hit the big time She`s written ever day since I`ve been gone But she doesn`t know that 109 West Charolette Is the address of the West Side Mission Home
Now I`m walkin` on the sidewalks of Chicago If I buy the bread I can`t afford the wine Now I`m walkin` on the sidewalks of Chicago Wishin` I had lived some other time
