You'll never find
as long as you live
Someone who loves you
tender like I do
You'll never find
no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you
the way I do
Woh I'm not braggin'
on myself baby
But I'm the one
who loves you
And there's no one else
No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
one else
You'll never find
It'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you
like I do
You'll never find
the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared
just us two
Woh, I'm not tryin'
to make you stay, baby
But I know some how
some day, some way
You are
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss
you're gonna miss my lovin'
Woh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna miss my lovin'
Late in the midnight hour, baby
You're gonna miss my lovin'
When it's cold outside
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss
you're gonna miss my love
You'll never find
another love like mine
Someone who needs you
like I do
You'll never see
what you've found in me
You'll keep
searching and searching
your whole life through
Woh I don't wish you
no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs
and buts or maybes
You're gonna
You're gonna miss
miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
I know you're gonna my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss
you're gonna miss my love
Woh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna miss my lovin'
Late in the midnight hour, baby
You're gonna miss my lovin'
When it gets real cold outside
You're gonna miss my lovin'
I know, I know that you
are gonna miss my love
Let me tell you that
you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby
You're gonna miss my lovin'
When I'm long gone
You're gonna miss my lovin'
I know, I know, I know that
you are gonna miss my lovin'

I was born in a bunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road

I grew up in a dusty shack
And all I had was a'hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save some money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow itup, start all over again
Build a town, be proud to show
Give the name Tobacco Road

Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known
I despise you 'cos your filthy
But I love ya, 'cause it's home

I was born in a city the called the Windy City
And they called it the Windy City because of the Hawk.
The hawk. The all mighty Hawk
Mr. Wind
Takes care of plenty business around winter time
The place that I lived in
Was on a street that a
Happened to be one of the dead-end streets
Where there was nothing to block
The wind, the elements
Nothing to buffer them for me to
Keep them from knocking my pad down, you know
I mean really socking it to me
When the boiler would bust and the heat was gone
I would have to get fully dressed before I could go the bed
Cause I couldn't put on my goulashes cause they had buckles on them
And my folks didn't play that
They said "don't you tear up my bed clothes with some goulashes on"
But I was fortunate
As soon as I was big enough to get a job save enough money
To get a ticket to catch anything
I split
I said one day I'm going to return
And I'm going to straighten it all out
And I'm about ready to go back now
So I thought I'd tell ya about it
----------
They say this is a big rich town
But I live in the poorest part
I know I'm on a dead-end street
In a city without a heart
I learned to fight before I was six
The only way I could get along
But when you're raised on a dead-end street
You've got to be tough and strong
Now all the guys I know are getting in trouble
That's how its always been
When the odds are all against you
How can you win, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm going to push my way out of here
Even though I can't say when
But I'm going to get off of this dead-end street
And I ain't never going to come back again
Never
No, no, no

I'm going to push my way out of here
Even though I can't say when
But I'm going to get off of this dead-end street
And I ain't going to never come back again
No, no, no
I ain't going to come back to this city street no more

No - Cause I'm going to get me a job
I'm going to save my dough
Get away from here
I ain't going to come back no more
I'm tired of a dead-end street
I want to get out in the world and learn something
I'm tired of breaking my back
I want to start using my mind
