Текст песни Indiana - David Hodges

You oughta be from Indiana
Growing up on sky and open space
You could wishing star your dreams for hours
In endless fields of corn and flowers
And there's still room to make mistakes

You oughta be from Indiana
You woulda loved that Autumn wind
Friday nights and football games
And that year we went to state
Even though we didn't win

But life
Hid you away inside the city
Where nothing learned is ever easy
There's no telling what you missed
But time
Won't let me write your heartache over
I'm not gonna say it made you stronger
Even though I know it did
We'll say it got you right here where I met ya
But you oughta be from Indiana

I know you'd tell me that i'm wrong
You know the secret of the skyline
Sleeping through the sirens all night
But there's another place where you'd belong

You oughta be from somewhere quiet
Where it's ok to be afraid
Where there's time for growing up
Doesn't have to happen all at once
There's more out there than being brave

But life
Hid you away inside the city
Where nothing learned is ever easy
There's no telling what you missed
But time
Won't let me write your heartache over
I'm not gonna say it made you stronger
Even though I know it did
We'll say it got you right here where I met ya
But you oughta be from Indiana

Now that I've said it I can't help but think
Maybe I just wish I had you there with me

But life
Hid you away inside the city
Where nothing learned is ever easy
There's no telling what you missed
But time
Won't let me write your heartache over
I'm not gonna say it made you stronger
Even though I know it did
But I'm glad it got you right here where I met ya
But you oughta be from Indiana
