Northside Story

Verse 1

Stepping off the curb of Fond du Lac

White smoke rising through the concrete crack

Used to be a kid on forty fourth

Looking for a compass pointing North

Dodge a neon sign that's flicking fast

Tying up my laces making sure they last

Pre-Chorus

Under the bridge

Over the line

Waiting for the stars to align

Chorus

M-K-E where the summers get loud

Tryna find a head in the crowd

Keep it moving when the winters bite

Walking through the city in the blue night

Milwaukee made me who I am

Milwaukee made me who I am

Verse 2

Riding on the bus with the worn out seat

Checking for a rhythm in the slushy street

Old house sagging on a corner lot

Trying not to lose the little bit we got

Watch the giant lake turn into gray

Fighting just to make it through another day

Pre-Chorus

Under the bridge

Over the line

Waiting for the stars to align

Chorus

M-K-E where the summers get loud

Tryna find a head in the crowd

Keep it moving when the winters bite

Walking through the city in the blue night

Milwaukee made me who I am

Milwaukee made me who I am

Bridge

Maybe it's the bridge

Maybe it's the park

Maybe it's the way we found the light in the dark

Chorus

M-K-E where the summers get loud

Tryna find a head in the crowd

Keep it moving when the winters bite

Walking through the city in the blue night

Milwaukee made me who I am

Milwaukee made me who I am
