Lyrics

Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear Pack yourself a favorite blouse Take a withdrawal slip Take all of your savings out 'Cause if we don't leave this town We might never make it out I was not born to drown Baby come on Forget what Father Brennan said We were not born in sin Leave a note on your bed Let your mother know you're safe And by the time she wakes We'll have driven through the state We'll have driven through the night Baby come on If the sun don't shine on me today And if the subways flood and bridges break Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave Or will you rail against your dying day And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky How do you pay the rent, is it your parents Or is it hard work dear, holding the atmosphere? I don't wanna live like that If the sun don't shine on me today If the subways flood and the bridges break Jesus Christ can't save me tonight Put on your dress, yes wear something nice Decide on me, yeah decide on us Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear Pack yourself a favorite blouse Take a withdrawal slip Take all of your savings out 'Cause if we don't leave this town We might never make it out
