Wasn't Born In Chicago - Gary Moore

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
