Why Indiana

(album: Gold Chain Cowboy - 2021)

Well it could have been Vegas
Or somewhere way out west
Somewhere where the world
Ain't beating back into my chest
From hearing you saying goodbye

Could've been in Memphis
With an old man singing my blues
Instead of way out here
Without a damn thing to do
I know it's over and you don't love me anymore

Why Indiana, why not San Anton?
I'd still be drinking, just not on my own
This busted heart, yeah it hurts so bad
I laugh just to keep from crying
Why Indiana, on a clear sky day?
Why not in Portland, in the pouring rain?
To hear your voice on the other end of the phone
Say you're tired of trying

Could've been in person
Could've been face to face
Maybe you could've let me
Watch you drive away
And see those tail lights fade

Why Indiana, why not San Anton?
I'd still be drinking, just not on my own
This busted heart, yeah it hurts so bad
I laugh just to keep from crying
Why Indiana, on a clear sky day?
Why not in Portland, in the pouring rain?
To hear your voice on the other end of the phone
Say you're tired of trying
So tired of trying

Why Indiana, on a clear sky day?
Why not in Portland, in the pouring rain?
To hear your voice on the other end of the phone
Say you're tired of trying

So tired of trying
Why'd you quit trying?
