Slow Down Chicago Lyrics
I’d like to ask this town to slow down
Selfish, I know
But I think it’s come to this.
I’m losing my breath and I’d take a break
If I thought I could
But the things I’ve been doing
To keep this town moving
Would surely be missed
From the corner of State and Madison, I cried,
“Chicago Slow Down”
A few folks glanced over
But none broke their stride
That’s when I found
This town it breathes on its own
With or without me
The skyline wakes up whether or not I get out of bed
El trains, they rumble along
And headlines will happen with no help from me
And when I can’t keep it all up
I’ll sing, “La, la, la, la”
It kills me to ask a thing of this town
Not mine alone
A burden I’d hate to be
I’m losing my step
And as I fall back
My life is living itself
But the seeds I’ve been sowin’
Could keep this town goin’
If only she’d wait for me
From the 95th floor, I looked out and I prayed,
“Chicago Slow Down”
But the teeming streets shrugged off
the plea that I had made
That’s when I found
Selfish, I know
But I think it’s come to this.
I’m losing my breath and I’d take a break
If I thought I could
But the things I’ve been doing
To keep this town moving
Would surely be missed
“Chicago Slow Down”
A few folks glanced over
But none broke their stride
That’s when I found
With or without me
The skyline wakes up whether or not I get out of bed
El trains, they rumble along
And headlines will happen with no help from me
And when I can’t keep it all up
I’ll sing, “La, la, la, la”
Not mine alone
A burden I’d hate to be
I’m losing my step
And as I fall back
My life is living itself
But the seeds I’ve been sowin’
Could keep this town goin’
If only she’d wait for me
“Chicago Slow Down”
But the teeming streets shrugged off
the plea that I had made
That’s when I found
