[00:30.00]In this land of the bitter cold, where the dead still have their say.
[00:34.25]Winter storms that I’ve survived in, this year's the worst I’ve ever seen.
[00:39.69]More crooks than a rusty saw blade, yet the blues take it all away.
[00:43.85]Rail cars all herd together,
[00:46.58]'cause they know that it's the place to be.
[00:50.58]And it's ok and its alright,
[00:53.73]'cause it's winter in Chicago and I'm stuck on Lake Shore Drive.
[00:58.15]And there's no work.
[01:00.43]The frost, it bites.
[01:03.43]'Cause it's winter in Chicago and the Hawks are on tonight.
[01:07.98]Yeah, it’s alright.
[01:19.13]Big shoulders of the windy city carry more cause they take the reins.
[01:23.51]Big mouths do a lot of talking,
[01:25.96]carve an “X” in the good old runway.
[01:28.67]But still a place of progress if you know how to play the game.
[01:32.75]Hey, boss, now here's my story.
[01:36.12]Another day goes by on this midwest plain.
[01:40.10]And it’s alright,
[01:42.79]'cause it's winter in Chicago and I'm stuck on Lake Shore Drive.
[01:47.26]And there's no work.
[01:49.74]The frost, it bites.
[01:52.64]'Cause it's winter in Chicago and the Hawks are on tonight.
[01:56.93]Yeah, it’s alright.
[02:08.41]Until it’s 2 o’clock in the morning,
[02:11.06]just too early in the morning,
[02:14.18]and the world comes crashing down around.
[02:16.55]So hard to win, gotta face the world and start again.
[02:22.13]And it’s alright,
[02:24.72]'cause it's winter in Chicago and I'm stuck on Lake Shore Drive.
[02:29.28]And there's no work.
[02:31.69]The frost, it bites.
[02:34.09]'Cause its winter in Chicago and the Hawks are on tonight.
[02:39.01]Yeah, it’s alright...
[02:50.17]Yeah, it’s alright(alright...) ...
