Boy from Illinois

[Verse 1]
Waking up every day, cup of coffee and I'm on my way
Well, ain't no worries on my mind
I hear the wind singing a song, I lay back and let my hair grow long
I keep on rolling through this time

[Chorus]
Just an old boy from Illinois
Lay me down in the fields of joy
I'm just an old boy from Illinois
Lay me down in the fields of joy

[Verse 2]
I sit back and I fall in love, my mind's in the clouds above
I'm living easy day to day
And I was born a Midwest man, oh, Lord, I'm doin' the best I can
And I don't care what you have to say

[Chorus]
Just an old boy from Illinois
Lay me down in the fields of joy
Just an old boy from Illinois
Lay me down in the fields of joy

[Bridge]
I'll take a drive with the windows down and I'm listening to every sound
Just passing through when I'm on my way
And I don't mind it any day, I go walking in the prairie plains
And that's a-right where I'm gonna stay

[Chorus]
Just an old boy from Illinois
Lay me down in the fields of joy
Just an old boy from Illinois
Lay me down in the fields of joy
