A Record, A Wheel - Aaron Thompson

Did it hurt you so deep

That you couldn’t show?

Were they so unkind

That you left Chicago?

We started a riot

Marched city hall

The police blocked the streets

But that didn’t stop us

You’ve been a record

You’ve been a wheel

That endless summer

You were my steel

So I’ll keep my eyes wide

And I’ll hang my head low

That sun is gonna come

But it’s gonna come slow

If you ever come back

God I hope you let me know

Of all these faces

Yours is the most

Beautiful

You’ve been a record

You’ve been a wheel

That endless summer

You were my steel
