"Illinois" lyrics

"Illinois"

Oh Illinois
You broke me down
Face down in dirt

Oh Illinois
Dressed in drag
With cigarettes and booze

Oh Illinois
Stole my cat
Not coming back no more

Not coming back for you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Not coming back for you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

I was young, twenty one
[?] was on my mind, just passing through
For you
At the bar, after dark
Don't recall what I saw, but you

It's always you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
It's always you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oh Illinois
You broke me down
Face down in dirt

Oh Illinois
Stole my cat
Not coming back no more

Oh Illinois
Dressed in drag
With cigarettes and booze

Just cigarettes and you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Just cigarettes and you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Not coming back for you
