Lyrics
0:17Dusty day dawning
0:22Three hours late
0:24Open the curtains
0:27And let the rest wait
0:31My mind goes running
0:35Three thousand miles east
0:38I may miss the harvest
0:41But I won't miss the feast
0:45Chorus
0:46And it looks like you're gonna
0:48Have to see me again
0:52And it looks like you're gonna
0:56Have to see me again
1:00And it looks like you're gonna
1:04Have to see me again
1:08Illinois oh Illinois
1:15South California
1:26Your sun is too cold
1:30It looks like your hills
1:34Have been raped of their gold
1:38I should have come out
1:41When I was first told
1:45This lamb has got to
1:48Return to the fold
1:51Chorus
1:51Illinois-I'm your boy
2:07Flat on the prairies
2:08Soil and stone
2:51Stretching forever
2:55Taking me home
2:58'Cause I've got a woman
3:03Who waits for me there
3:05And I need a breath of that
3:09Sweet country air
3:12Chorus
3:12Illinois-I'm your boy
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
