[00:18.10]Illinois I could put you in a poem
[00:20.84]
[00:22.27]Illinois I could put you in a song

[00:39.03]A Santa Claus Sears Tower in your sky
[00:42.05]
[00:43.28]A poem for every band who stood before me
[00:46.69]
[00:47.56]I just needed three more minutes of your time
[00:50.47]
[01:00.50]I want to be a legend in my lifetime
[01:03.37]
[01:04.45]A street sign of my name where I am from
[01:07.89]
[01:09.14]Illinois I really do love you madly
[01:11.88]
[01:13.10]But you and I both know I don't belong
[01:15.78]
[01:17.41]And I do thank you for the love you've shown me
[01:20.65]
[01:21.40]Take care of my parents and my books
[01:24.21]
[01:25.64]I'll send postcards from the great state of Texas
[01:28.83]
