Lyrics for Sunshine in Chicago

Pulling my guitar out of its green velvet case A hundred settlers staring at my face And a note from a fan estan young And the note is on an inspection from air Canada Sitting at the Days Inn Hotel Chicago Room 222 with the ceiling fan on low And I just got in the door from Ontario And I'm going home tomorrow I took a walk down Lincoln Avenue Got myself a foot massage and a manicure too And I Looked up at the marquee and hey was my name Next to Julie Holland, think that was her name Sunshine in Chicago makes me think about my dad It was eight or nine siblings that I'm told that he had When the summertime came his parents put him on a bus And sent him to his uncles in Chicago for three months Sunshine in Chicago makes me sad My band played here a lot in the nineties when we had A lot of female fans and fuck they all were cute Now I just sign posters for guys in tennis shoes Tomorrow I'll get up at a quarter after nine No itching or burning like I got the other time My back it fucking hurts but otherwise I'm fine Sunshine in Chicago Sunshine in Chicago
