I?d Rather Be In Chicago Than Be That LA Woman?s Man
By 8.19.03
Millard
I?d rather be in Chicago, than be that LA woman?s man!
I?d rather be in Chicago, than be that LA woman?s man!
?Cause no one in Chicago, can know what?s on that devil-girl?s mind.
The woman I loved moved in with some guy. Some guy! (what she said).
The woman I loved moved in with some guy! (Huh)
But I?m so unlucky, she?ll probably be back some night when I?m high.
I laid down last night to get some rest.
Yeah I laid down last night to get some rest.
And my mind startin? wanderin? to that girl I met out in the West.
I?d rather be in Chicago, than be that LA woman?s man.
Break
I would rather be in Chicago, than be that LA woman?s man!
I?d rather be in Chicago, than be that LA woman?s man!
Cause no one in Chicago can know what?s on that devil-girl?s mind.
The woman I loved, moved in with Some Guy!
The woman I loved moved in with some guy!
But I?m so unlucky, she?ll probably be back some night when I?m High.
I?d rather be in Chicago, than be that LA woman?s man.
I?d rather be in Chicago, Chicago?s my home town.
I?d rather be in Chicago, Chicago?s my home town.
