[Verse 1]
You are, you are on a plane now
And on you way up north
Canada is so far from where you want to be
Be in California, with sunshine in your heart

[Chorus]
But you know there are people that
You have to be
Have to be, have to be
What they say you are
What you always wanted to be
Wanted to be, wanted to be
Just a man fulfilled, but a little more free
A little more free

[Verse 2]
You are, you are in a hotel
And in your room alone
Lying there, but not knowing where you're s'posed to be
Be thinking of B-3's and Leslies going round

[Chorus]
And you know there are people that are going to be
Goin' to be, goin' to see
What they say you are
What you've always wanted to be
Wanted to be, I only wanted to be
Just a man fulfilled, but a little more free
A little more free
A little more free

Chicago

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.
