The bottom line's been snortedThe bottom card's been dealtNo one knows like you know right nowHow truly bad it feltAll your life you wastedOn dreamin' about the dayWorker bees kill off their queenAnd carry all her eggs awayOh, then if you die fearin' GodAnd painfully employedNo, you will not go to HeavenYou'll go to Champaign, IllinoisUp north in ChicagoWhere booze makes no one blushMemories come back to youIn a double Bourbon rushMemories that aren't all badAnd neither, my friend, are youThere is an argument there must be some Heaven meantFor hearts that are half trueOh, and if you spend your whole lifeRollin' horses into TroyNo, you will not go to heavenYou'll go to Champaign, IllinoisNo, you will not go to heavenYou'll go to Champaign, IllinoisRoll on blacktop highwayCircles towards the sunSpringfield's in the distanceAnd that's the last big oneAfter that comes judgmentOh, and judgment will be swiftYou will be eliminatedBut here's a parting giftOh, if you die fearin' GodAnd painfully employedNo, you will not go to HeavenYou'll go to Champaign, IllinoisNo, you will not go to heavenYou'll go to Champaign, IllinoisNo, you will not go to heavenYou'll go to Champaign, Illinois
