Dead End Street(Monologue) (Digitally Remastered 00) - Lou Rawls

I was born in a city the called the Windy City

And they called it the Windy City because of the Hawk

The hawk The all mighty Hawk

Mr Wind

Takes care of plenty business around winter time

The place that I lived in

Was on a street that a

Happened to be one of the dead-end streets

Where there was nothing to block

The wind the elements

Nothing to buffer them for me to

Keep them from knocking my pad down you know

I mean really socking it to me

When the boiler would bust and the heat was gone

I have to get fully dressed before I could go the bed

Cause I couldn't put on my goulashes cause they had buckles on them

And my folks didn't play that

They said "don't you tear up my bed clothes with some goulashes on"

But I was fortunate

As soon as I was big enough to get a job save enough money

To get a ticket to catch anything

I split

I said one day I'm going to return

And I'm going to straighten it all out

And I'm about ready to go back now

So I thought I'd tell ya about it
