Everybody puts me down, I'm a face without a name just walking in the rain. Going back to Illinois... I got holes in both of my shoes I'm a walking case of the blues... Saw a dollar yesterday, but the wind blew it away. Going back to Illinois. Nobody calls me friend... It's sad this shape I'm in... Going back to Illinois I got a girl waiting there for me, well at least she said she'll be. I got a home and a big warm bed... and a feather pillow for my head. Going back to Illinois......
I do plan on leaving Kentucky and going back to my home town in Illinois... I'll have to save up for a few months and leave my current girlfriend behind, but I've already got it figured out.
