Melissa Etheridge - Indiana lyrics

rate me

She came to this world on a cold night

Papa turned his head and said

I don't believe she's mine

Single momma raised her in a place where

You can look but never touch

Cause we don't have enough

Don't let your hopes get high

Cause girls like you can't fly

Oh the long nighs in the small room

With the big dreams

Oh Indiana

You're only dying here

And they don't understand you

It's a tough road but you start slow

And before you know it

You're not alone

Looking for a place called home anywhere

Oh Indiana

She tended bar in New York City

People turned their heads and said

Baby you sure look fine

They put her on TV and then they told her

You're gonna be a star

You can go so far

Let your hopes get high

Cause girls like you can fly

In the long nighs in the small room

With the big dreams

Oh Indiana

You're only dying here

And they don't understand you

It's a tough road but you start slow

And before you know it

You're not alone

Looking for a place called home anywhere

Oh Indiana

Those big dreams are flying machines

And they'll take you

Wherever you want to go

Sometimes you find that what's real is inside

You don't have to go away

To find your way home

Oh Indiana

She turned around and sshe topped running

She saw that fame was never an answer to her prayers

She found that answer in her children

When she takes them to a place

Where they can have so much

She lets their hopes get high

Cause anyone, anyone can fly

In the long nighs in the small room

With the big dreams

Oh Indiana

You're only dying here

And they don't understand you

It's a tough road but you start slow

And before you know it

You're not alone

Looking for a place called home anywhere

Oh Indiana

Oh she's going back

Oh oh oh
