Born In Chicago Lyrics - Blues Brothers

I was born in Chicago in 1941 

I was born in Chicago in 1941 

Well, my father told me 

"Son, you had better get a gun" 

Well, my first friend went down when I was seventeen years old 

Well, my first friend went down when I was seventeen years old 

Well, there's one thing I can say 'bout that boy, he got bold 

Well, my second friend went down when I was twenty-one years of age 

Well, my second friend went down when I was twenty-one years of age 

Well, there is one thing I can say about that boy, he got dead 

Well, my rules are alright if there's someone left to play the game 

Well, my rules are alright if there's someone left to play the game 

All my friends are going and things just don't seem the same 

Oh, things just don't seem the same, baby
