Illinois

Dusty day dawning
 Three hours late
 Open the curtains
 And let the rest wait
 My mind goes running
 Three thousand miles east
 I may miss the harvest
 But I won't miss the feast
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 Illinois, oh, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois
 South California your sun is too cold
 It looks like your hills have been raped of their gold
 I should have come out when I was first told
 This lamb has got to return to the fold
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 Illinois, oh, Illinois, Illinois, I'm your boy
 ♪
 Flat on the prairies
 Soil and stone
 Stretching forever
 Taking me home
 'Cause I've got a woman who waits for me there
 And I need a breath of that sweet country air
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
 Illinois, oh, Illinois
 Illinois, Illinois
 Illinois, Illinois
 Illinois, I'm your boy
