Dan Fogelberg Illinois Lyrics

This is my own interpretation of the song based on how I currently hear it.
Dan Fogelberg - Illinois
Intro:
Verse 1:
Dusty day dawning
Three hours late
Open the curtains
And let the rest wait.
My mind goes running
Three thousand miles east
I may miss the harvest
But I won't miss the feast.
Chorus:
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
ch /ch
Illinois, Illinois
ch /ch
Illinois, Illinois
Verse 2:
South California
Your sun is too cold
It looks like your hills
Have been raped of their gold.
I should have come out
When I was first told
This lamb has got to
Return to the fold.
Chorus:
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
ch /ch
Illinois, Illinois
ch /ch
Illinois, I'm your boy.
Solo:
Verse 3:
Flat on the prairies
Soil and stone
Stretching forever
Taking me home
'Cause I've got a woman
Who waits for me there
And I need a breath of that
Sweet country air.
Chorus:
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
ch /ch
Illinois, Illinois
ch /ch
Illinois, Illinois
ch /ch
Illinois, Illinois
ch /ch
Illinois, I'm your boy
