Reo Speedwagon - Ballad of the Illinois Opry слова песни


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
