Chicago Green,
She was the ice cube queen of blue
She got a tip from Aunt Mary,
Said Chelsea was in love with you.
She was so naive,
Famous for her childlike mind.
I don't believe she ever opened
Her bedroom venetian blinds.
Already Eddie was unsteady on the levee,
Down Home.
Down Home
Little Willy was Chicago's boyfriend,
A local screw.
He done kicking trippy hippies in the head
With his hobnail shoes.
Already Eddie,
Pitching for pennies,
Rockin' for bennies,
Wound up in the local hole,
Without a radio.
And he wrote Aunt Mary
Said "Mom, it's getting hairy,
Down Home."
Down Home.
Well it was early in the morning
When Chicago bailed Eddie on out.
Which tripped out Willie,
Oh man you should've heard him shout.
Yeah, they wandered off somewhere,
They couldn't find their way home...
Any road home.
You know I'd really like to take her,
But you know I couldn't make her,
Down Home.
