Kelly Pardekooper Not In Iowa lyrics

I left my country home, left the fields and plains To feel the desert wind, escape the rain But she saw me coming from a thousand miles away She took my hand and asked my name

She led me to her house and fed me Spanish wine Up ‘till then I'd of swore I was doing fine But she said you never smile and it's starting to creep me out I should have listened to my doubt

So take that gun and make me swallow And I'll be smiling forevermore My head is spinning and my eyes can't find the door I'm not in Iowa anymore


I miss my country home, I miss the corn and beans This sand it's in my lungs, I could really use some rain She turned the lights down and crept up close to me So I would feel what I could not see

Just take that gun and make me swallow And I'll be smiling forevermore My hands are tied now and my feet won't touch the floor I'm not in Iowa anymore Not in Iowa anymore
