Lyrics
Stuck In Indianapolis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Got a tow, from a guy named Joe.
Cost sixty dollars hope I don't run outta dough.
Told me 'bout a sex offense put him three days in jail,
Stuck in Indianapolis hope I live to tell the tale.
CHORUS
Can't go west, can't go East,
I'm stuck in Indianapolis, with a fuel pump that's deceased.
Ten days on the road now I'm four hours from my hometown
Is this Hell or Indianapolis, with no way to get around.
Verse2
Called my girl to tell her all the trouble that I had.
First time I called her in ten days, guess that made her mad.
?Far as she's concerned I'm stuck here in this Hoosier State.?
Stuck in Indianapolis with no way to set things straight.
CHORUS
Sittin' in this bar is gettin' more than I can stand,
If I could catch a ride, would they think I ditched this band.
Who knows what this repair'll cost, scared to spend a dime.
I'll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time!
But if I ever leave here I hope never to return,
If I get that van back, man the road I'm gonna burn.
Right now my future's in the hands of the boys down at Firestone.
Stuck in Indianapolis, feelin' all alone.
CHORUS
Got a tow, from a guy named Joe.
