Lyrics

Halsted street
You're a long, long street
A long, long road to go
Take me back
Down your long, long track
To the place I used to know

Yes, take me back
Dear Halsted street
To see her once again
Take me back to the good old days
To the days I remember when

When the fields were bright
In the summer light
When the sun was brash and bold
When all I saw was yellow
When all she saw was gold

She showed me worlds that I never knew
And she showed me the way to go
Now take me to her, Halsted street
For God I love her so

Now an Autumn haze
Hangs above the maize
And the sun's a little colder
And the ride's a little rougher
For the road's a little older
But her touch will feel like velvet
When I reach the journey's end
And her smile as warm as summer
I'm coming home to my best friend

Halsted street
You're a long, long street
Seasons come and seasons go
Who we love and why we love
Well I guess I'll never know
But I know she is waiting for me at the end
And God I love her so
