‘ LAKE SHORE DRIVE’

- By Skip Haynes

There’s a road I’d like to tell you ’ bout, Lives in my hometown Lake Shore Drive the road is called, And it’ll take you up or down From rats on up to riches, 15 minutes you can fly Pretty blue lights along the way, to help you right on by Blue lights shining with a heavenly grace, to help you right on by And there ain’t no road just like it, anywhere I’ve found Running south on Lake Shore Drive, Heading into town Slippin’ on by on L. S. D. Friday night trouble- bound It starts up north on Hollywood, Water on your driving side Concrete mountains rearing up, Throwing shadows just about 5 Sometimes you can smell the green if your mind is feeling fine There ain’t no finer place to be, Running Lake Shore Drive And no peace of mind- er place to be than riding on Lake Shore Drive And there ain’t no road just like it, anywhere I’ve found Running south on Lake Shore Drive, Heading into town Just slippin’ on by on L. S. D. Friday night trouble- bound It’s Friday night and you’re looking clean Too early to start the rounds A 10- minute ride from the Gold Coast back Makes sure you’re pleasure bound It’s 4 o’clock in the morning, and all the people have gone away Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive and tomorrow is another day The sun shine’s fine in the morning time and tomorrow is another day There ain’t no road just like it, anywhere I’ve found Running south on Lake Shore Drive, Heading into town Just snakin’ on by on L. S. D. Friday night trouble- bound
