A song about good times on a road trip to visit friends at Eastern Illinois University

lyrics

Between Chicago and Charleston Illinois
There’s a whole lot of nothing a whole lot of corn
We go ahead and make the drive
Manage to stay alive
People in this town wish we’d pass them by
Cause we drink all their beer
We dote on their chics
They scream and they shout
We don’t give a shit
We’re Outlaws in Charleston.. Illinois

Jim and James get to an early start
When it comes to drinking they show a lot of heart
5 shots in 5 minutes, it’s never enough
Jim goes to the bar
And some princess acts tough
Jim pulled out her chair
She fell on her ass
Jim got thrown out
and we all just laughed
We’re outlaws in Charleston… Illinois

And we drank and we danced
At Friends all night long
While the Riptones “YeaHawed”
Out cowboy songs
We’re Outlaws in Charleston… Illinois
