Lyrics
Verse 1 Got my boots on the pavement, rhythm in my stride, Feelin’ that city heartbeat keepin’ time inside. Streetlights flicker blues notes, hummin’ low and tight, And the groove keeps movin’ like a train at night. Chorus I’m rollin’ through the night with a downtown swing, Let the band hit hard, let the old bars ring. That Chicago shake’s gonna set me free, When the beat locks in, that’s where I’m meant to be. Verse 2 Hear the harp start wailin’ like a midnight call, Guitar cuttin’ sharp through the smoky hall. Bass walkin’ steady with a heavy grin, Drums hittin’ back like they just won again. [guitar solo] Bridge I’ve been chasin’ down the good times, outrunnin’ the bad, But this kind of groove makes me forget what hurt I had. And if tomorrow hits me harder than tonight, I’ll still come back swingin’ — that’s my fight. Chorus (Final) I’m rollin’ through the night with a downtown swing, Let the crowd jump in, let the backbeat sting. That Chicago fire keeps burnin’ in me, When the groove kicks up, that’s where I gotta be.
