Gary Moore - Wasn't Born In Chicago lyrics

I wasn't born in Chigaco, But I can play the blues. I wasn't part of no union, But I paid my dues. I never got into a train wreck, But I went off the rails. I never went under the hammer, 'cause I was hard as nails. I never swam in dirty water, But my name was mud. I never knew you was a virus, But you got into my blood. I never was a politician, But I learned to lie. I never led a delegation, I was too smart to try. I wasn't born in Chigaco, But I can play the blues. I wasn't part of no union, But I paid my dues. I never was no kind of prisoner, But I've been to jail. And I was never in a train wreck, But I went off the rails, big time. I never swam in dirty water, But my name was mud. I never knew you was a virus, You got into my blood, blood. I wasn't born in Chigaco, But I can play the blues, ah.
