Lyrics

I ain?t got alot of friends, but I got enough to get me by
When I feel low, they know what it takes to get me high
Now I couldn?t tell you, just where I?ve been, all I know
is I?ve been sleeping on the streets of Chicago, with one eye open

ooh-and I?ve loved some ladies, yeah but it always ends the same
standing in the red light, just another face without a name
They?ll tell you they?re passing through, huh-but they?re just passing the time , trying to kill the burn of their hunger, with the taste of cheap red wine...you see it all the time


CHORUS*
Well, On the streets of Chicago you don?t get too attached cause a new found friend might mean a knife in the back
And so you do what you do to survive but that?s no guarantee you?re gonna wake up alive
You never know who?s the predator of this jungle, sleeping on the streets of Chicago, with one eye open

(music stops)
ooh, with one eye open , huh!


Bridge:
Look away, with those eyes, trying to find the good in me
Cause I wasn?t born with no mama, at least not with one that
was ever gonna pray for me

Repeat 1st verse

Chorus*
(music stops)
tag: sleeping on the streets of Chicago, with one eye open
