<pre><font size='+2'>BALLAD OF THE ILLINOIS OPRY lyrics REO SPEEDWAGON</font><br>Found myself heading down toward Springfield<br />
 The last sign said it was twelve miles west<br />
 It`s gettin` hard to see through the salt on my windshield<br />
 But it looks like I`m gonna make it before the sun sets<br />
 <br />
 The morning I arrived was Lincoln`s birthday<br />
 So I walked through his house and saw his tomb<br />
 I decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial Museum would be a drag<br />
 I was tired of seeing monuments about other men`s doom<br />
 <br />
 Now I don`t want you people to think that all there is around Springfield Illinois<br />
 Are landmarks telling `bout the good old Lincoln years<br />
 Cus just north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois Opry is open tonight<br />
 And the sweet sound of country music filled my ears<br />
 <br />
 And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now<br />
 The people in the country certainly know how to play<br />
 It may be a while before I`m ready<br />
 But I`m gonna be up on that stage someday<br />
 <br />
 I could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin`<br />
 I could go on for hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel<br />
 But I`m not singing `bout people who were just playin` music<br />
 I`m singing about how fine their music made me feel<br />
 <br />
 There`s a lot of people who have taken years of lessons<br />
 Trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend<br />
 But the simple folks at the Opry have got somethin` special<br />
 And I think that we all could use a lesson or two from them<br />
 <br />
 And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now<br />
 The people in the country certainly know how to play<br />
 It maybe a while before I`m ready<br />
 But I`m gonna be up on that stage someday<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/ballad_of_the_illinois_opry_lyrics-reo_speedwagon.html" target='_blank'>BALLAD OF THE ILLINOIS OPRY lyrics REO SPEEDWAGON</a></pre>

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
