Reo Speedwagon - Ballad Of The Illinois Opry Şarkı Sözleri
Reo Speedwagon
| Şarkı Sözleri
found myself heading down toward springfield the last sign said it was twelve miles west it´s gettin´ hard to see through the salt on my windshield but it looks like i´m gonna make it before the sun sets
the morning i arrived was lincoln´s birthday so i walked through his house and saw his tomb i decided that a tour through the civil war memorial museum would be a drag i was tired of seeing monuments about other men´s doom
now i don´t want you people to think that all there is around springfield illinois are landmarks telling ´bout the good old lincoln years cus just north of town i saw a sign that said the illinois opry is open tonight and the sweet sound of country music filled my ears
and i want to be a star in the illinois opry now the people in the country certainly know how to play it may be a while before i´m ready but i´m gonna be up on that stage someday
i could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin´ i could go on for hours ´bout the old boy on pedal steel but i´m not singing ´bout people who were just playin´ music i´m singing about how fine their music made me feel
there´s a lot of people who have taken years of lessons trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend but the simple folks at the opry have got somethin´ special and i think that we all could use a lesson or two from them
and i want to be a star in the illinois opry now the people in the country certainly know how to play it maybe a while before i´m ready but i´m gonna be up on that stage someday
