[00:12.93]I've never had a way with women
[00:16.57]But the hills of Iowa make me wish that I could
[00:21.97]And I've never found a way to say I love you
[00:28.25]But if the chance came by oh I, I would
[00:33.66]But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother
[00:41.76]We don't like to make our passions other people's concern
[00:47.25]And we walk in the world of safe people
[00:51.76]And at night we walk into our houses and burn
[00:58.02]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
[01:08.54]🎵
[01:10.79]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
[01:21.04]🎵
[01:26.53]How I long to fall just a little bit
[01:30.25]To dance out of the lines and stray from the light
[01:36.54]But I fear that to fall in love with you
[01:41.08]Is to fall from a great and gruesome height
[01:49.13]So you know I asked a friend about it on a bad day
[01:54.52]Her husband had just left her
[01:57.24]She sat down on a chair he left behind, she said
[02:01.80]"What is love? Where did it get me?
[02:05.48]Whoever thought of love is no friend of mine"
[02:11.77]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
[02:23.62]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
[02:34.50]🎵
[02:51.43]Once I had everything, I gave it up
[02:55.02]For the shoulder of your driveway and the words I've never felt
[03:03.21]And so for you I came this far across the tracks
[03:06.89]Ten miles above the limit and with no seatbelt, and I'd do it again
[03:13.11]For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion
[03:19.43]For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see
[03:25.77]You were a-wandering out on the hills of Iowa
[03:31.15]And you were not thinking of me
[03:37.26]🎵
[03:39.32]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
[03:52.82]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
[04:03.99]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
[04:13.89]Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I Iowa
