Flight 602

This is Chicago, from their third album, which was somehow called "Chicago III":



This was recorded back when they were a good band. Terry Kath was still alive. But I repeat myself.

For reasons I couldn't explain even if I wanted to, this song ruins me. Oh well. Strength through ruination.

You are, you are on a plane now
And on you way up north
Canada is so far from where you want to be
Be in California, with sunshine in your heart
But you know there are people that
You have to be
Have to be, have to be
What they say you are
What you always wanted to be
Wanted to be, wanted to be
Just a man
Fulfilled but a little more free
A little more free

La da da da da (Ooh)
La da da da da (Ooh)
Oh oh oh oh (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

You are, you are in a hotel
And in your room alone
Lying there, but not knowing where
You're s'posed to be
Be thinking of B-3s and Leslies going 'round
And you know there are people that are going to be
Goin' to be, goin' to see
What they say you are
What you've always wanted to be
Wanted to be, I only wanted to be
Just a man
Fulfilled but a little more free
A little more free
A little more free

Do do do do ooh ooh
