13 Feet of snow last night
Train keeps pushing through Sawtooth
On our way
For me to find
My final resting ground

The long pass over Black Fork
Alongside a Louisiana flood
Chasing shadows to the east
Home for good from the Navy

And, yesterday there was sunshine
Now there's endless moonlight
Someday, somehow
I'll see the light

On my way
Back home
To Illinois

Over there's a cross
With two stones
In the same row
As my father's, father
Virginia man
Wade, his name into
The hills of Illinois

Steaming across Big River
Just at the break of dawn
Feels like an endless sea
Lost all I see

Well if the sunshine yesterday
Gleamed so bright
Some day, somehow
I'll see the light

On my way
Back home
To Illinois

Just outside of Memphis
Hearing a slow sung song
Ringing across Murray's Blue Plains
All the way
To the streets of Bowling Green

It's the last stop at McHenry
Moonlight fireflies
Fill an August nigh sky
Memories of a past life passing by

As I'm lowered
to the platform
Save your tears
Don't cry

Cause yesterday's just fine
To have
Found
The way
Back home
To my Illinois

On my way
Back home
To Illinois

On my way
Back
Home
