[00:07.41]Found myself heading down toward Springfield
[00:13.38]The last sign said it was twelve miles west
[00:20.10]It's gettin' hard to see through the salt on my windshield
[00:25.17]But it looks like I'm gonna make it before the sun sets
[00:31.92]The morning I arrived was Lincoln's birthday
[00:38.88]So I walked through his house and saw his tomb
[00:44.67]I decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial Museum would be a drag
[00:51.03]I was tired of seeing monuments about other men's doom
[01:00.39]Now I don't want you people to think that all there is around Springfield Illinois
[01:06.90]Are landmarks telling `bout the good old Lincoln years
[01:09.21]Cus just north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois Opry is open tonight
[01:19.47]And the sweet sound of country music filled my ears
[01:26.82]And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
[01:33.60]The people in the country certainly know how to play
[01:39.63]It may be a while before I'm ready
[01:46.92]But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
[02:27.00]I could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin'
[02:32.07]I could go on for hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel
[02:39.27]But I'm not singing `bout people who were just playin' music
[02:45.69]I'm singing about how fine their music made me feel
[02:52.71]There's a lot of people who have taken years of lessons
[02:58.26]Trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend
[03:04.80]But the simple folks at the Opry have got somethin' special
[03:11.22]And I think that we all could use a lesson or two from them
[03:18.45]And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
[03:24.24]The people in the country certainly know how to play
[03:27.78]It maybe a while before I'm ready
[03:38.55]But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
