Illinois Sky by Michigan Rattlers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I thought we were good at being cool
Yeah we thought we learnt how to live like men
Drinkin' beer on the back porch
Smoking blues one after another
Callin' out to the pretty babies dancin' out under them street lights
Prayin' to whatever gods we had oh honey
Don't let me be alone again tonight

[Chorus]
Yeah as much as we love this town
Hell it always had a way
Of bringin' us right back down

[Verse 2]
Well I had my eye on a pretty girl
Once in a while she was lookin' back at me
She'd come and go like a CTA
And everytime I had her well I thought she'd stay
Lost her daddy when she was young
I'd get close but in the morning she'd be gone
She told me I reminded her of him
I bet she tells the other boys the same damn thing
[Chorus]
Yeah as much as we love this town
Hell it always had a way
Of bringin' us right back down
Yeah as much as we love this town
Hell it always had a way
Of bringin' us right back down

[Bridge]
Yeah well you go your way
And I'll go mine
Drive down the coast in the summer
Midwestern boys out on our own
Headed for a life of treasure
Two-Hearted Ale runnin' through my veins
Thoughts of this room runnin' through my brain
Headin' out when the morning comes
And brother, it's been a good run

[Outro]
Well them late night talks probably saved our lives
Lookin' up at that Illinois sky
Oh that Illinois sky
Oh that Illinois sky
Oh that Illinois sky
