Iowa Stubborn lyrics

Artist  : Music Man 
Song : Iowa Stubborn



 Send "Iowa Stubborn" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Townspeople:

Oh, there's nothing halfway

About the Iowa way to treat you,

When we
treat you

Which we may not do at all. 

There's an Iowa kind of special 

Chip-on-the-shoulder attitude. 

We've
never been without.

That we recall.

We can be cold

As our falling
thermometers in December 

If you ask about
our weather in July.

And we're so by God
stubborn

We could stand touchin' noses

For a week at a time

And never see
eye-to-eye.

But what the heck, you're
welcome,

Join us at the picnic.

You
can eat your fill 

Of all the food you
bring yourself.

You really ought to give
Iowa a try. 

Provided you are contrary,

We can be cold

As our falling thermometer
in December

If you ask about our weather in
July.

And we're so by God stubborn

We
can stand touchin' noses

For a week at a
time

And never see eye-to-eye.

But
we'll give you our shirt

And a back to go
with it 

If your crops should happen to
die.



Farmer:

So, what the
heck, you're welcome,

Glad to have you with
us.



Farmer and Wife: 

Even
though we may not ever mention it again.



Townspeople:

You really ought to
give Iowa

Hawkeye Iowa

Dubuque, Des


Moines, Davenport, Marshalltown,

Mason City, Keokuk, Ames,

Clear Lake

Ought to give Iowa a try!
