[Instrumental]
you were never big on goodbyes, never big on goodbyes
you didn't let on, and I never got wise
that's all fine and well and good
the world's still spinning as it should
to make a moonrise, Over Peoria
as the raven flies, Over Peoria
[Instrumental]
you were the baby of the family, everyone's golden child
you were playing in 'the Coachmen', everyone knew you got style
set out west to conquer and paint the world
it took a few tries but you found your perfect girl
and the rain turned to snow, Over Peoria
a decade of blue skies, Over Peoria
[Instrumental]
you were never big on goodbyes, surprise surprise
just how much, I now realize
when I travel across the great midwest
I always book a window seat
and keep an eye out, Over Peoria
there's blue sky, Over Peoria
got sunshine, Over Peoria
[Instrumental]
