 Send "Iowa" Ringtone to your Cell 

 


I've never had a way with women, but the
hills of Iowa make me wish that I could, 
And
Ive 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 dont like to make our passions other
peoples concern, 
And we walk in the world of
safe people, and at night we walk into our houses
and burn. 

Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh
ooo oh I-Iowa 

How 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 I asked a friend about
it, on a bad day, her husband had just left her,

She sat down on the chair he left behind, she
said, 
"What is love, where did it get me?
Whoever thought of love is no friend of
mine." 

Ioway oh ooo oh, Iowa oh
ooooh ooo oh I-Iowa 

Once I had
everything, I gave it up for the shoulder of your
driveway and the words Ive never felt. 
And so
for you, I came this far across the tracks, ten
miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and
Id 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 a-wandering out on the hills of
Iowa and you were not thinking of me.


Ioway oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh
I-Iowa 
Ioway oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh
I-Iowa
