I wrote this song for a cute girl on myspace who, at the time, had a status of "missing her boy." he was overseas in ireland. I wound up emailing the girl a few times, and to date, that chili recipe she sent is one of the hottest things I've ever eaten.

lyrics

"are you missing your boy?"
"i think so" she says.
"do you miss illinois?"
"i think not" she says.
but i think so....i think so.

i hear the irish fight.
what do you know?
i thought they were neutral.
the illini fight too.
did you know that?
i fight for you.
this song is...it's not much,
but my heart fights
for a loving touch.
this town is
is no match for
the brown of
the emerald isle's shore.
i love you
but you love him more.

"are you missing your boy?"
"yes indeed" she cries.
alone in illinois
i, sit and sigh.
i think i...i love her.
