Description
I grew up 5 miles away from The Kid in a little Michigan town called Richmond. I have spent decades chasing my musical dreams always staying true to my roots playing 200 shows a year for the last 10. During this chase I lost women either to whiskey, live shows, or the devil. This song is the pure representation of those struggles between music, playing live, and the women that live with it. Every true musician can easily relate to this struggle. I even mention The Kid's name in the bridge....

CHICAGO - Ridin, hummin a tune in my head My baby's at home in my bed Wondering where the hell I've been Hopin, this whiskey will drown out my lies She'll stare at my glass covered eyes Wonderin where the hell I've been I stumble through the doorway and I scream "HELLO" I can see that she's been cryin asks me "How was your show" She knows Damn well I finished over 3 hours ago Don't think were gonna make it here in Old Chicago God I'm smokin, up on the stage Friday night I'm completely numb to stage fright My baby strolls into the bar She starts hangin, all over this biker named Jed She's tryin to mess with my head She follows him out to his car I storm to his Camaro and I scream "HELLO" I can see that she is lyin asks me "How was your show" I grab her by the arm and say "It's time to go!" The night sure brought the devil down to Old Chicago Been with a thousand women Kid Rockin with the musical scene and she keeps on forgivin. Then late one night I got a touch of stage fright and my baby went and left me alone, she heard the rumors were spreadin. Should have known from the beginnin that the music and women would end this all again in Old Chicago. I stumble through the doorway and I scream "HELLO" There's no sign of cryin no girl after my show My baby's gone, you see I made her go Lord the night sure brought the Devil down to Old Chicago Lord the night sure brought the Devil down to Old Chicago Lord the night sure brought the Devil down to Old Chicago No my God no!
