Lyrics

Chicago Line

Verse 1
I?m not a whiner
Or complainer
I?m just makin? my own way
Single, double I?m OK

I?m not a pleaser
Not a teaser
Or a victim of despair
Single, double I don?t care

Chorus
Engine, engine number 9
Going down Chicago line
If the train should skip the track
Do you want you money back

No or yes and come what may
No one guaranteed the day
No one said you would be mine
Going down Chicago line

Verse 2
I?m not user
Or abuser
Just a girl that wants to be
Can you, take a, chance on me

I may not need it
But I want it
Baby you?re the one for me
Can you, take a, chance on me

Chorus

Bridge
Tomorrows are only what we have today
Your only as true as what you thing and say
Your secrets are always what you put away
Listen, and look at me and see yourself today

Verse 3
not above you
or below you
I?m an equal in your mind
Hey there, cowboy, you?re my find

I want a partner
And a lover
Not an ego with control
Hey there, cowboy, you?re my soul

Chorus
