Illinois

I come from the heart of the heartland
 Where picture shows where the corn grows in rows and rows
 And summer greens, and winter snows, and it goes on
 Through the crack of the bat
 Oh everybody rolling out their welcome mat
 And our hands on our hearts under the stars of the Friday night flag
 And oh, the heart will wander
 beyond that wild blue yonder
 But when I get lost in the noise
 Like a whipser I hear the voice of a boy

 I remember the first time I saw that name on the Marquee sign
 The light so bright it'd almost make you blind
 I get lost in sweet girls singing along
 Bussers rollin' on the silver dome
 Seeing the world a long long way from home
 And oh, the heart will wander
 Beyond that wild blue yonder
 But when I get lost in the noise
 Like a whipser I hear the voice of a boy
 ♪
 It's runnin' through my blood
 It's the place i got my roots
 It's the fire thats in my soul
 It's the mud that's on my boots
 Oh, Illinois
 Oh, the heart will wander
 Beyond that wild blue yonder
 But when I get lost in the noise
 Like a whipser I hear the voice of a boy
 Oh, from Illinois
 ♪
 From Illinois
 Oh, Illinois
 Takes me back to Illinois
 Takin' me home, takin' me home
 Takin' me home
 I come from the heart of the heartland
