Williams Dar - Iowa (Traveling Iii) Lyrics

I've never had a way with women, but the hills of Iowa make me wish that
I could,
And I've never found a way to say "I love you", but if the chance came
by, oh I, I would,
But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother,
we don't like to make our passions other people's concern,
And we walk in the world of safe people, and at night we walk into our
houses and burn.

Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I - Iowa

How I long to fall just a little bit, to dance out of the lines and
stray from the light,
But I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and
gruesome height,
So I asked a friend about it, on a bad day, her husband had just left
her,
She sat down on the chair he'd left behind, she said,
"What is love, where did it get me? Whoever thought of love is no friend
of mine."

Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I - Iowa

Once I had everything, I gave it up for the shoulder of your driveway
and the words I've never felt.
And so for you, I came this far across the tracks, ten miles above the
limit and with no seatbelt, and I'd do it again,
For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion,
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see,
You were a-wandering out on the hills of Iowa and you were not thinking
of me.

Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I - Iowa
Iowa oh ooo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I - Iowa
