Intro
Piano, then Piano + Guitar:
Verse 1
Theres a road Id like to tell you about, lives in my home town
Lake Shore Drive the road is called and itll take you up or down
From rags on up to riches fifteen minutes you can fly
Pretty blue lights along the way, help you right on by
And the blue lights shining with a heavenly grace, help you right on by
Instrumental
Chorus
And there ain't no road just like it
Anywhere I found
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town
Just slippin on by on L.S.D., Friday night trouble bound
(The rest of the song follows same chord structure)
Verse 2
And it starts up north from Hollywood, water on the driving side
Concrete mountains rearing up, throwing shadows just about five
Sometimes you can smell the green if your mind is feeling fine
There aint no finer place to be, than running Lake Shore Drive
Chorus
Verse 3
And its Friday night and youre looking clean, to early to start the rounds
A ten minute ride from the Gold Coast back make sure youre pleasure bound
And its four oclock in the morning and all of the people have gone away
Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive, tomorrow is another day
And the sunshines fine in the morning time, tomorrow is another day
Chorus
This is a great song. If you ever get the chance to actually drive down Lake Shore Drive
4 am in Chicago in a convertible blasting this song, don't pass it up. I hope to do it
day.
