Chicago

[Verse 1]
Run away
Leave all your worries behind you
Run away
Run for your life never turn back
Run away
Run from the wrong that surrounds you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it

[Chorus]
And soon you will be
Right where you want to be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon you will find
Just what you're looking for
All the good times you never, never knew

[Verse 2]
Run away
Follow the voice deep inside you
Run away
Follow the sun, find a new life
Run away
Run from the lies that destroy you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it

[Chorus]
And soon you will be
Right where you want to be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon, I said soon, you will find
Just what you're looking for
All the good times you never, never knew

[Outro]
Run away[x6]

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
