Illinois Sky

Well I thought we were good at being cool

Yeah we thought we learnt how to live like men

Drinkin' beer on the back porch

Smoking blues one after another

Callin' out to the pretty babies dancin' out under them street lights

Prayin' to whatever gods we had oh honey

Don't let me be alone again tonight

Yeah as much as we love this town

Hell it always had a way

Of bringin' us right back down

Well I had my eye on a pretty girl

Once in a while she was lookin' back at me

She'd come and go like a CTA

And everytime I had her well I thought she'd stay

Lost her daddy when she was young

I'd get close but in the morning she'd be gone

She told me I reminded her of him

I bet she tells the other boys the same damn thing

Yeah as much as we love this town

Hell it always had a way

Of bringin' us right back down

Yeah as much as we love this town

Hell it always had a way

Of bringin' us right back down

Yeah well you go your way

And I'll go mine

Drive down the coast in the summer

Midwestern boys out on our own

Headed for a life of treasure

Two-Hearted Ale runnin' through my veins

Thoughts of this room runnin' through my brain

Headin' out when the morning comes

And brother, it's been a good run

Well them late night talks probably saved our lives

Lookin' up at that Illinois sky

Oh that Illinois sky

Oh that Illinois sky

Oh that Illinois sky
