all the way to the sea

i dream of the day

that we all will be free



g d g

of the troubles that ail us

the systems that fail us

c g a d

the midwestern rust belt

that fetters us all



c g em a d

there’s dopers, there’s boozers

blue collared drug users

and they paved the roads,

and at the end of the day

were just heart broken hoosiers

just tryin to get paid
in indiana we do a couple of things
we watch the paint dry
we watch the corn grow
we all go to church
and the ohio flows
and the ohio frowns
as for me i will smile
while humbly i stand
but i’ll do it with style
with bricks in my hands
if i could tear it all down
i’d let those walls fall
tile by tile to the ground
tile by tile to the ground
and i’d see it all
mile by mile
drift state to state
maybe crash for awhile
but there’s luxury condos
the buildings grow tall
while down here we crumble
i’d let those walls fall
hell i'd let those walls fall
there’s greasers and clown cars
at every rock show
and strippers and bikers
baby powder and blow
just some heartbroken hoosiers wherever you go x2
we got forests and puppies
bluegill and sand
there’s ballers and yuppies
gamblers with a poor hand
well there’s pawpaws and wetlands
and 10 point rack bucks
there’s oil under the soil
for big yee yee trucks
well there’s police, there's bad men
with blood on their hands
there’s good hearted outlaws
with pot charges from grams
well there’s mothers, young ladies
there’s gay kids and babies
there's indy 500, turkey buzzards and rabies
well there’s doctors and lawyers
there’s preachers and shooters
i know just one thing
we’re some heartbroken hoosiers
we watch the paint dry
we watch the corn grow
think i’ll hop on a train
maybe see where it goes
