Autumn in Chicago

With a guitar on his back, by the stars he was led [Pre-Chorus] With each strum, Bill found a way To chase off the dust and the heartaches of days And he'd sing, oh he'd sing Tales of hope in the barroom's warm glow As the hillbilly band made that deep sadness slow woah, Bill's got that Kentucky soul His strings and his pickin', they're savin' his home And music, oh, music well, that's just his family talkin' Their rhythm is walkin' through hard times with a song [Chorus] Did your fingers get stiff in the cold country nights? In Chicago's bright lights, he found new dreams to chase Met a city girl, Virginia, with a soft, smiling face [Verse 2] They danced through the streets, in the windy city's embrace But then war called his name, with a stern, steady pace [Pre-Chorus] So he held Virginia close, beneath the autumn sky Promised he'd return, with a tear in his eye
