Lyrics:

For every day I work on the Illinois river
I get a half a day off with pay
All day long I'm makin' up barges 
On a long hot summer day

Well I got
For every day I work on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
All day long I'm makin' up barges
On a long hot summer day

Well I got me
inside is singing hell no
But the devil  inside is singing yeah

Where I come from
There's corn on every corner
The Illinois River's someplace to go
Ooh
High on the banks, Illinois river
Catch and release, now for something to do
When overtook me a gust of wind
It was blowing in an old memory of you
There’s a town on a river in Illinois
Where the riverboat never sets sail
And the people who gathered along the shores
They seemed heavy and pale
I
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
like Minnesota
Work you down touching you all up in Illinois
Mississippi River wanna take me way down to Georgia
Coast to coast
Under the ocean
Top down
Cross the river, Illinois
Driving fast as Rapid Roy
On my way out to Detroit
Feel just like Jonathan Voight
Left in my dust to avoid
Shit that makes
down 
Ima a county boy but I’m straight from Illinois fuckin her by the river making hella noise Ima funny nigga but i ain’t no toy she said her man
friends, for ya-
America, merica, meri-
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi-

I count the days the great frontier
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
I stand
bumping out an old Buick
My stomping ground
None other than East St. Louis
Edgemont is the set
East St. Louis the city
Illinois is the state
St. Clair is
We were just river kids
Pickin' up stones like David did
Watchin' them longnecks break off of freight train bridge
We went to church in a Detroit
of residence, including a house on top of an Indian mound and a cave on the Cumberland River. He managed two wives, one back home in Illinois and one he kept in
I was standing on this sidewalk
In 1945 in Jacksonville, Illinois 
When asked what my name was there came no reply 
They said I was a deaf
Headed down Illinois
Missouri 55
Pulled into Memphis
To see Elvis and that vibe
Stopped into Sun Records
Passed along the way
Had to see where Carl
my muddy river town


I'm rolling through Illinois, red sun in the west
Gonna put the miles behind me out of sight
I've got a tan on my left hand,
the middle of the map
At the bottom of the state
There's a bend in the river
Like a pocket in a safe
That's our spot
That's our place
That's our spot
That's
threw rocks into the river
The river underneath the train tracks

And when the train came it was so big and powerful
When it came into the little
threw rocks into the river
The river underneath the train tracks

And when the train came it was so big and powerful
When it came into the little
a flash of nature can steer me from this place

Mighty Ohio River
Flow right by my side
cnd guide me to a place I never knew before
Mighty Ohio River
Take
There were Choctaws in Alabama
Chippewas in St. Paul
Mississippi mud runs like a river in me
America 
Ooh, she's like a mother to me

Oh
There were Choctaws in Alabama
Chippewas in St. Paul
Mississippi mud runs like a river in me
America 
Ooh, she's like a mother to me

Oh
There were Choctaws in Alabama
Chippewas in St. Paul
Mississippi mud runs like a river in me

America 
Ooh, she's like a mother to me
Oh
running out of love
No matter what you say, no
Then it's too late to talk about it (too late to talk about it)

Yeah
You can cry a river
'Till
