๐ Lyrics
I've never had a way
With women
But the hills of Iowa
Make me wish
That I could
And I've never found a way
To say "I love you"
But if the chance came by
Oh, I
I would
But way back
Where I come from
We never mean to bother
We don't like to make our passions
Other people's concern
And we walk in the world
Of safe people
And at night we walk into
Our houses and burn
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
I long to fall
Just a little bit
To dance out of the lines
And stray from the light
But I fear that to fall in love with you
Is to fall from a great
And gruesome height
So you know, I asked a friend about it
On a bad day
Her husband had just left her
She sat down on the chair he'd left behind
She said
"What is love?
Where did it get me?
Whoever thought of love
Is no friend of mine"
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Once I had everything
I gave it up
For the shoulder of your driveway
And the words I've never felt
And so for you
I came this far
Across the tracks
Ten miles above the limit
And with no seatbelt
And I'd do it again
For tonight
I went running
Through the screen doors of discretion
For I woke up
From a nightmare that I
Could not stand to see
You were wandering
Out on the hills of Iowa
And you were not
Thinking of me
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
Iowa
Iowa
I-I, Iowa
With women
But the hills of Iowa
Make me wish
That I could
And I've never found a way
To say "I love you"
But if the chance came by
Oh, I

But way back
Where I come from
We never mean to bother
We don't like to make our passions
Other people's concern
And we walk in the world
Of safe people
And at night we walk into
Our houses and burn
Iowa

I-I, Iowa
