Fogelberg Dan Illinois Lyrics

Illinois Lyrics

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.
Chorus
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.
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.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
Illinois-I'm your boy.
