lyrics

Iowa (mayone)

You don't know loneliness
until you've walked the streets of Iowa
in midday
you have not tasted the emptiness
until you stare up at the Iowan
skyline, skyline

I came here seeking solace
inside your tender arms
I was greedy and mistaken
and in the morning took the first Greyhoud
outta here, outta here

Oh Iowa your skies are blue but nothing seems to grow
I came to you a haunted man but you had all the ghosts
so fare thee well my precious friend
I'm leaving for the coast

You don't know loneliness
until you've walked the streets of Iowa
at midnight
it's like standing on the precipice
and your staring across the emptiness
of Iowa, Iowa

Oh Iowa your skies are blue but nothing seems to grow
I came to you a haunted man but you had all the ghosts
so fare thee well my midwest friend
I'll meet you on the coast
yeah I'll meet you on the coast
