Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear

Pack yourself a favorite blouse

And take a withdrawal slip,
take all of your savings out

'Cause if we don't leave this town

We might never make it out

And 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 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
