Somewhat autobiographical story.

All alone on an evening train,
fallin' out with the insane,
destined for the bitter rain of Chicago...

City streets that feel the pain,
empty stomachs and empty trains,
pullin' out in a bitter rain in Chicago...

nowhere can a cold wind blow,
nowhere can a story be told,
nowhere can a dream unfold like in Chicago...

Starin' out on the North East Shore,
feelin' down and needin' more,
than this old city can afford, Chicago...

I started out somewhere near Homewood, Illinois,
a man of eighteen just a crazy young boy,
full of dreams and a singular ploy, get outta Chicago...
