Caught the early morning train One way ticket calling west Not too sure about myself But it must be for the best No return to Illinois Leaving now I'm sure is right Got to do what I can Try to make myself a man It's too late to change my mind Illinois is miles behind Too late now to go back home Sunshine soon I'll telephone No return to Illinois Write her soon to tell her, I'm ok Get myself a little job Send her money every week I'll find friends make ends meet Before long I'll find my feet
