BOY FROM ILLINOIS
© Lon Conklin 2021

I don’t play them because I’m happy but I’m happy when I do
He had me from the first song and I bet he had you  
You can choose most any one, they’re all a masterpiece
From way down the Green River to the shores of Lake Marie

Chorus:
I love John Prine music 
But Jesus loves it more
The good Lord's mighty high on
The truth and three chords
Angels cry here’s Johnny
Olde Town’s pride and joy
Oh that boy oh that boy from Illinois
Oh that boy oh that boy from Illinois

A million miles from heaven, I can almost hear the band   
Fifty years of memories, the gold inside that man
I Remember Everything, A Good Time, Way Back Then
And That’s The Way The World Goes Round and Summer’s End

Repeat chorus

Instrumental

Final chorus:
I love John Prine music 
And angels love it too
The good Lord’s mighty high on
Three chords and the truth 
They all cry here comes Johnny
Olde Town’s pride and joy
Oh that boy oh that boy from Illinois
Oh that boy oh that boy from Illinois
Oh that boy that boy from Illinois
