[00:11.60]I come from the heart of the heartland
[00:14.51]Where picture shows
[00:15.73]where the corn grows in rows and rows
[00:19.17]And summer greens, and winter snows,
[00:21.95]and it goes on Through the crack of the bat
[00:26.16]Oh everybody rolling out their welcome mat
[00:29.24]And our hands on our hearts
[00:30.77]under the stars of the Friday night flag
[00:35.56]And oh, the heart will wander
[00:41.41]beyond that wild blue yonder
[00:46.71]But when I get lost in the noise
[00:49.69]Like a whipser I hear the voice of a boy
[00:58.40]From Illinois
[01:05.70]I remember the first time
[01:07.73]I saw that name on the Marquee sign
[01:11.15]The light so bright it'd almost make you blind
[01:15.70]I get lost in sweet girls singing along
[01:19.95]Bussers rollin' on the silver dome
[01:22.76]Seeing the world a long long way from home
[01:28.87]And oh, the heart will wander
[01:34.74]Beyond that wild blue yonder
[01:40.15]But when I get lost in the noise
[01:43.03]Like a whipser I hear the voice of a boy
[01:49.39]Oh
[01:53.06]It's runnin' through my blood
[01:55.98]It's the place i got my roots
[01:58.93]It's the fire thats in my soul
[02:01.89]It's the mud that's on my boots
[02:11.15]Oh, Illinois
[02:18.66]Oh, the heart will wander
[02:25.13]Beyond that wild blue yonder
[02:30.39]But when I get lost in the noise
[02:33.37]Like a whipser I hear the voice of a boy
[02:39.80]Oh, from Illinois
[02:48.03]From Illinois
[02:51.68]Oh, Illinois
[02:57.72]Takes me back to Illinois
[03:03.75]Takin' me home, takin' me home
[03:09.57]Takin' me home
[03:12.25]I come from the heart of the heartland
[03:18.12]Illinois
[03:19.61]
