	"Illinois" rhymes with "boy"...a favorite of Bob Grueneberg's.

	Story Behind the Song Yes, I am aware that Tom Waits wrote a song called "Johnsburg, Illinois," and that he too rhymed "Illinois" with "boy." Ain't it great how things just work out like that? Lyrics "Everyone is crazy," She said to my feet As I flicked of the truck Driving down my old street Everyone is crazy Well ain’t that the truth But isn't that why you like me And I love you I know that if I stay here too long I’ll become a naïve little boy Who knew that I would find me a princess Who hails from Wilmette, Illinois We can't make this easy But we can make it tough Fifty nights get lonely When three are enough to mess me up But everyone is messed up At least some of the time We all have our troubles I know I've got mine I know that if I stay here too long I’ll become a distraught little boy Who knew that I would find me a princess Who hails from Wilmette, Illinois Oh… You never thought you’d see me go Oh… I’m sorry I can’t let you know How everything will end up Twelve months down the road Our rivers are winding Who knows where they’ll flow Hopefully I'll meet you In the wide open sea Where you can be the H2 And the O will be me I know that if I stay here too long I’ll become a confused little boy Who knew that I would find me a princess Who hails from Wilmette, Illinois
