[00:04.66]I am waiting for this book to get good
[00:10.14]I do not have your patience
[00:14.68]So I'm drivin' up to Chicago
[00:19.75]I'm getting weird looks at gas stations
[00:25.20]I did not bring a winter coat
[00:29.92]I do not have your foresight
[00:34.74]A holistic practitioner told me once
[00:39.89]It's why I will not live a long life
[00:44.85]I am tryin' to remember where I gave up
[00:51.44]If it was not in Iowa
[00:57.14]Iowa, somewhere in the middle of-
[01:02.49]The middle of the Great Plains I saw
[01:06.26]A little girl wavin' her hand out of the window of a car
[01:11.06]Saying goodbye to her ma
[01:14.58]Iowa, where the tall grass prairie
[01:19.83]Used to ripple like the ocean in the breeze
[01:23.71]And the hummingbirds still suckled from the flowers in the trees
[01:28.61]It'd bring you to your knees
[01:34.84]I can imagine my whole life
[01:40.07]Sweet and never-ending
[01:44.92]In every house I float by
[01:49.83]But they'd never let me blend in
[01:54.84]I called a taxi in Des Moines
[01:59.81]I met him at the corner
[02:04.77]When I asked about his army coat
[02:09.72]He said he would not tell a foreigner
[02:14.43]Iowa, somewhere in the middle of-
[02:20.13]The middle of the Great Plains I saw
[02:23.49]A little girl wavin' her hand out of the window of a car
[02:28.46]Saying goodbye to her ma
[02:32.19]Iowa, where the tall grass prairie
[02:37.44]Used to ripple like the ocean in the breeze
[02:41.29]And the hummingbirds still suckled from the flowers in the trees
[02:46.28]It'd bring you to your knees

[03:07.38]I am waiting for this book to get good
[03:12.48]And you won't meet me halfway
[03:17.21]So I'm drivin' up to Chicago
[03:22.33]I am sorry to keep you waitin'
[03:25.77]🎵
[04:03.97]Hey, yeah
[04:13.97]Hey, yeah
