When I Left Indiana

i was just a kid
but i didn't know it
i was just another
fool out on the make
i thought i knew it all
then i took my graceless fall
left me pickin' up the pieces
headed for the gates

it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away

lived out on the ocean
of a thousand whiskey bottles
the coast of indiana
where the bottles break
i thought i had it covered
later i discovered
a million heartaches later
i was just a waste

it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away

could it be so many years
that live on unforgotten
could it be i'm crazy
for thinking of them now

it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away
