From his 1983 album Swordfishtrombones
Lyrics:
She's my only true love
she's all that I think of
look here in my wallet
that's her
She grew up on a farm there
there's a place on my arm
where I've written her name
next to mine
you see I just can't
live without her
and I'm her only boy
and she grew up outside McHenry
in Johnsburg, Illinois

Grew up there...and I always laugh that I learned about this song when I was living in Germany.
NO ONE from this town seems to know this song...why the cool kids move out ;)
His wife is from Johnsburg...she was probably that wild Thelen or Schmidt girl ;)
