Indiana
[Verse 1]
No matter where I am, when I see an old cornfield
Well I'm never far from home
I see country boys runnin' down an old dirt road
Out by Charlie Bower's pond
We'd cough and choke on Ruby Burns's cigarettes
That we stole the day before
And on three beers, man, how drunk that we could get
Well these days it takes more
[Chorus]
Those were the days in Indiana
That I will never see again
I might see a cornfield in Atlanta
But Indiana's where I am
[Verse 2]
Daddy was a Green Beret in 1964
In Germany somewhere
When he came home, he ran our household like the corps
But my momma didn't care
Momma was a bona fide full-blooded Chippewa
And you didn't have to ask
Daddy took a job as a garbageman in town
Ah, but he didn't raise no trash
[Chorus]
Those were the days in Indiana
That I will never see again
I might see a cornfield in Atlanta
But Indiana's where I am
[Bridge]
And all my friends have all grown up and moved away
And if you asked them, I know that they would say
[Chorus]
Those were the days in Indiana
That I will never see again
I might see a cornfield in Atlanta
But Indiana's where I am
[Chorus]
Those were the days in Indiana
That I will never see again
I might see a cornfield in Atlanta
But Indiana's where I am
[Outro]
Indiana's where I am
