Lyrics:

I guess I grew up fast in Chi-town
School out, clean up, homework, lights out
Momma was strict about them kids
Runnin' in and out
Street light meant, you better be in that house

Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Bed when it's light outside
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night

They played some really good sounds
Cleaning up on Saturday
From Carmen to Charlie Bird to Aretha
We all sang
Those very sounds floating in and outta my head
Created the magic that sealed my fate

I had to run away from home
I had to have my way
Just what I was running from
I don't know to this day
Can't say I have everything
I thought it would be
But I got memories

Oh when Auntie Cathy
Played them funky sounds
That's when I knew
My true love I'd found
