lyrics

Me and Ryan been together 30 long years
Sometimes smilin or chokin back tears
Lookin from the Kennedy at my home
Flyin through the circle, I'm never alone
Cruisin in August, it's 83 at night
It's hot, it's humid, Maxwell's to the right
Ain't there no more, burned it to the ground
Just like Robert Taylor, down to the ground

Laurie, Lisa, Jen, South Side's had my share
Drivin down the Ryan tryin to make a pair
To say the North Side's bad just wouldn't be fair
The way Jonna rocks a barber chair

Red line flies by, in my window shoots a blast
Cruise past 47th, hear the blues from the past
Bishop Ford and 57 a fork in the road
You know I lean left, on the Bishop I go
Full moon to the left, strippers on the right
Fly past Stoney Island in the middle of the night
The smell of garbage hits me before the steel bridge
Dolton and Riverdale ain't no Park Ridge

Laurie, Lisa, Jen, South Side's had my share
Drivin down the Ryan tryin to make a pair
To say the North Side's bad just wouldn't be fair
The way Jonna rocks a barber chair

South Holland Cal City, they're both friends of mine
80 west is what I'm looking to find
Halsted to Ashland, that's where I need to be
Next to the mushroom house is home for me.
