about

A favorite about where I was born and raised

lyrics

I'm gonna lay right here on the south west coast of Lake Michigan
where the sky scrapers swaying and the pigeons are playing on the roof again

I'm selling ice-cream bars and it may take hours to get rich again
on the streets on the side-walks of the southwest coast of Lake Michigan

I'm gonna stay with you baby on the south west coast of Lake Michigan
and I aint-a-gonna leave you alone unless I get the itch again

cause I'm so happy just looking out the window with you my friend
watching the cops chase the robbers up the south west coast of Lake Michigan

Well, the waves are splashing and the dead fish are flashing on the lake again

and the wind is a-shifting and the smog is drifting in on Chicagoland

and I've been sitting here thinking, am I gonna haft-a be here till the very end

waiting for the palms trees to grow on the south west coast of Lake Michigan
