π Lyrics
She don't miss the PCH
Or the California waves
No, she don't
She don't see adobe skies
'Cause she's got green in her eyes
Yeah, she does
Walked away from everything
Left behind the silver screen
Years ago
And if you ask her why she left
She'll put out her cigarette and say
"You know, I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where nobody could bother me no more"
She wanted her own garden
With a big old basset hound out on thΠ΅ porch
She used to wear hΠ΅r wedding rings
Now the only gold she sees is in the corn
She once loved a leading man
Who built her castles in the sand years ago
And if you ask her why she ran
She'll reach out and take your hand and say
"You know, I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where I got what I need and nothing more"
And you'll spend your time surrounded by a million faces
You'll spend your life knocking on doors
There is a world where you can move at slower paces
And people aren't so scared of getting bored
Now she's in her favorite chair
With a coffee and the laundry on the line
She don't miss the roles she played
But she thinks about the stage from time to time
Movie sets and curtain calls
Broken love and alcohol
She didn't need to have an encore
She said
"I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where everybody has an open door"
"I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where nobody could bother me no more"
"I got smart and moved to Iowa
And this is where I'll be forevermore"
Or the California waves
No, she don't
She don't see adobe skies
'Cause she's got green in her eyes
Yeah, she does
Walked away from everything
Left behind the silver screen
Years ago
And if you ask her why she left
She'll put out her cigarette and say
"You know, I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where nobody could bother me no more"
She wanted her own garden
With a big old basset hound out on thΠ΅ porch
She used to wear hΠ΅r wedding rings
Now the only gold she sees is in the corn
She once loved a leading man
Who built her castles in the sand years ago
And if you ask her why she ran
She'll reach out and take your hand and say
"You know, I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where I got what I need and nothing more"
And you'll spend your time surrounded by a million faces
You'll spend your life knocking on doors
There is a world where you can move at slower paces
And people aren't so scared of getting bored
Now she's in her favorite chair
With a coffee and the laundry on the line
She don't miss the roles she played
But she thinks about the stage from time to time
Movie sets and curtain calls
Broken love and alcohol
She didn't need to have an encore
She said
"I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where everybody has an open door"
"I got smart and moved to Iowa
Where nobody could bother me no more"
"I got smart and moved to Iowa
And this is where I'll be forevermore"
