Come On, Illinois Lyrics


Come on, Illinois
There's a fire in the city
We're making noise
You're burning bright and pretty
It's a long way just to make it to the borderline
Put your vote in a box
A political action committee
Take what you know
Throw it down the goddamn privy
It's a long way just to make it to the borderline
Vivian, you've been a bad girl
You took your mother's lantern and you dropped it in the farmhouse
And you burnt down the city
Oh you pretty young girl
Well you never had a chance

Built your house on a drawbridge
You thought it would protect you but the flames they travel fast here
And they're coming out to get you
Oh you pretty young girl
Well you never had a chance
And it's a long way just to make it to the borderline
And it's a long way just to make it to the borderline

Houndmouth is a collaborative folk/rock band from the lowland plains and farmlands of Indiana and Kentucky. Their poetry emphasizes foolhardiness, and their soulful harmonies carry far. Once a folk duo, Katie Toupin and Matt Myers (of the Saint James Hotel) joined up with Shane Cody (Riffraff Revival) and Zak Appleby to create a colossal electric sound with bouncy half-time beats, punchy guitar riffs, and a bit of facial hair.
