Goodbye Illinois by, Kris Denoyer

Goodbye, Illinois
Your the best home I know
We've flown to the moon and left our foot prints

Goodbye, Illinois
and all the classy times had
hope I took care of you as you took care of me

So long, Illinois
we found Poseidon depths there
You were scared when we chimed right in

So long, Illinois
and the advice that you shared
Like telling me to stay when my bird had took off

So long, Illinois
and all the times we shared
like when we did the breast stroke
and saw that breaching whale

Farewell, Illinois
There is another way
I read that it changed on the 3rd day

So good day, Illinois
there's one thing I've learned
that I ain't seen these things in vein

Farewell, Illinois
This is my last verse
You have been my greatest curse...

This is a song, I have the chords and all of that. Really just a journal I wrote about how I miss home and I listened to ''Chicago'' by Sufjan too many times. I wanted my own song for home. One that selfishly has hidden meanings that only a few close friends will understand. This is how I felt when going to Texas and it's not a good song... just a song of how I can't move on from home. No matter where I go, I just couldn't and can't move on from here.
