Illinois Lyrics

by Brett Eldredge

[Verse 1]
I come from the heart of the Heartland
Where pictures shows where the corn grows
In rows and rows of summer greens
And winter snows
And it goes on
Through the crack of the bat
Oh everybody rollin' out their welcome mat
And our hands on our hearts under the stars of the Friday night flag

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e129205-brett_eldredge~illinois_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus]
And oh the heart will wander
Beyond that wild blue yonder
When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy
Oh from Illinois
[Verse 2]
I remember the first time
I saw that name on the marquee sign
Lights so bright could almost make you blind
I'd get lost in
Sweet girls singin' along
Buses rollin' on in the silver dawn
Seein' the world a long, long way from home

[Chorus]
And oh the heart will wander
Beyond that wild blue yonder
When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy
Oh oh oh

[Bridge]
It's water through my blood
It's the place I got my roots
It's the fire that's in my soul
It's the mud that's on my boots
Oooh Illinois

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh the heart will wander
Beyond that wild blue yonder
When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy
Oh from Illinois
From Illinois
Oh oh oh from Illinois
Takes me back to Illinois
(Take me home)
(Take me home)
(Take me home)
(I come from the heart of the Heartland)
