Daddy
wanted me to leave it
Indiana, Indiana in the cold
Said, "You know you really
don't need it
Leave the fame for the road"
I remember when I was leaving
I was only six years old
Oh, how my heart was beatin'
About ready to explode
One shot, honey, collect it all
The dust inside the rusted souls
You should get a ride 'cause
you can't control
The heart that beats under the bone
Come on my combat chameleon
Give it up,
you've got your life to attend to
Buttercup, you're entertaining the
talk that is told through the teeth
Of the mouths of the millions
dyin' to meet ya
Little do they know
The Mississippi River won't kill you
Unless you stand too close, my dear
Take you to Louisiana
A long, long way from here
And the war's been
a long time com ing
Yes, a long, long war's gon
na come
We're standing at the end of a story
At the foot of a palindrome
One shot, honey, collect it all
The dust inside the rusted souls
You should get a ride 'cause
you can't control
The heart that beats under the bone
Come on my combat chameleon
Give it up, you've got your
life to attend to
Buttercup, you're entertaining the talk
that is told through the teeth
Of the mouths of the millions
dyin' to meet ya
Little do they know
