Moore Gary - Wasn't Born In Chicago lyrics

I wasn't born in Chigaco But I can play the blues I wasn't part of no union But I paid my dues I never got into a train wreck But I went off the rails I never went under the hammer 'cause I was hard as nails I never swam in dirty water But my name was mud I never knew you was a virus But you got into my blood I never was a politician But I learned to lie I never led a delegation I was too smart to try I wasn't born in Chigaco But I can play the blues I wasn't part of no union But I paid my dues I never was no kind of prisoner But I've been to jail And I was never in a train wreck But I went off the rails, big time I never swam in dirty water But my name was mud I never knew you was a virus You got into my blood, blood I wasn't born in Chigaco But I can play the blues, ah
