Found myself heading down toward Springfield The
last sign said it was twelve miles west It's
gettin' hard to see through the salt on my
windshield But it looks like I'm gonna make it
before the sun sets

The morning I arrived was Lincoln's birthday So I
walked through his house and saw his tomb I
decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial
Museum would be a drag I was tired of seeing
monuments about other men's doom

Now I don't want you people to think that all
there is around Springfield Illinois Are landmarks
telling `bout the good old Lincoln years Cus just
north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois
Opry is open tonight And the sweet sound of
country music filled my ears

And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to
Find more similar lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com/GJTPplay It may be a while before I'm ready But I'm
gonna be up on that stage someday

I could easily write a whole song about the licks
that guitar man was pickin' I could go on for
hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel But I'm not
singing `bout people who were just playin' music
I'm singing about how fine their music made me
feel

There's a lot of people who have taken years of
lessons Trying to learn how to make their music
fit the trend But the simple folks at the Opry
have got somethin' special And I think that we all
could use a lesson or two from them

And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to
play It maybe a while before I'm ready But I'm
gonna be up on that stage someday
