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
|
