Chicago – Takin' It On Uptown Lyrics  Share

From Chicago's album: Chicago XI

(Lyrics by Fred Kagan, music by Terry Kath)

Walkin^, through the fog on a cold and cloudy night
Lookin^, through the smog that surrounds the mornin^, light
The shades of brown. It gets me down, exactly like my life
I don^,t deserve the hand I^,m dealt: a flush in spades of strife.
I^,ve grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore
So I^,m rounding up the broken me and headin^, on out the door
Without no lag I^,m packin^, my bag of discontented frowns
And hopping number eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound.
Got my bag of many frowns and I^,m takin^, it on uptown.
Big city lights
Funkier nights

Happier days
Goin^, my way
It should be right
But I^,m still uptight
Hey, I better put down
And get movin^, on
I^,m through with aggravation
Don^,t deserve the degradation
I^,m putting all the negatives down
To hop the train that^,s freedom bound for uptown.
Got my bag of many frowns and I^,m takin^, it on uptown.
