Did it hurt you so deep
That you couldn't show?
Were they so unkind
That you left Chicago?

We started a riot
Marched city hall
The police blocked the streets
But that didn't stop us.

You've been a record
You've been a wheel
That endless summer
You were my steel.

So I'll keep my eyes wide
And I'll hang my head low
That sun is gonna come,
But it's gonna come slow.

If you ever come back
God I hope you let me know.
Of all these faces
Yours is the most
Beautiful.

You've been a record
You've been a wheel
That endless summer
You were my steel.
