[Verse]
The city skyline purples, red and blues, traffic escape to the sound of the highway blues...
Taking my breath away..the smell of Jay's Factory, making our stomachs growl
Chicago is full of night owls ..
It's a late night and we're hungry..every hood spot lights are on....
Pizza, beefs, chicken or ribs...
We are gonna need bibs
You can never get enough
Though the streets are tight
But the love is thick in the heart of the city's slick brick..
[Chorus]
Sweet home, under purple skies that midnight magic in the night owls eyes...
[Verse]
Flashback to the nineties
Dressing up so neat
We started chasing lights on rush street
But the real magic happened when the sun went down
Heading underground to the best spot in town
Deep in the warehouse losing all control
Frankie on the decks, saving everybody's soul
Jacking to the bassline
Sweating through the night underneath the strobe lights everything was right....
[Bridge]
From the wide open blue of lake Michigan
To the blocks where I grew up, it makes me feel alive every corner holds a memory,
Every street sign knows my name
Decades pass up by, but the feelings stay the same,
Yeah its a deep down joy,
A beautiful peace
When I'm back in my city, all my worries cease.....
Just feel the spirit rising up from the ground, drop the beat one more time for my favorite town..
[Final Chorus]
Sweet home, under purple skies
That midnight magic in the night owl's eyes
From the slick brick lanes to the avenue
Nobody does a night life quite like you...
Just pat your foot to the rhythm of the soul
Chicago's got a hold on my control.....
