Damien Jurado - Thax Douglas #1 lyrics

Illinois, I could put you in a poem Illinois, I could write you in a song But the ink keeps bleeding through the paper Illinois, I could put you in a poem Illinois, I could write you in a song But the ink keeps bleeding through the paper So now I must move on Illinois, I am your favorite stepson A Santa Claus Sears Tower in your sky A poem for every band who stood before me I just needed three more minutes of your time I want to be a legend in my lifetime A street sign of my name where I am from Illinois, I really do love you madly But you and I both know I don't belong And I do thank you for the love you've shown me Take care of my parents and my books I'll send postcards from the great state of Texas Forget me not, Thax Douglas Forget me not Forget me not - best wishes Forget me not Forget me not - best wishes Illinois, I could put you in a poem Illinois, I could write you in a song But the ink keeps bleeding through the paper So now I must move on Forget me not Forget me not - best wishes Forget me not Forget me not
