My Bittersweet Illinois
My home for as long as I can remember
Sweet Illinois was there
The kitchen always filled with laughter
Sweet Illinois was there
The fields of corn and golden rods
Sweet Illinois was there
I ask to play, and mother nods
Sweet Illinois was there
There's something wrong with Mom, I know
Sweet Illinois was there
She says she's okay and tells me to go
Sweet Illinois was there
She stays in bed for longer each day
Sweet Illinois was there
She seems to be worse, withering away
Sweet Illinois was there
Now she's gone, as am I
Sweet Illinois was there
I have left that place all behind
Bittersweet Illinois was there
