I'm going back to Indian Queens
Cause it's been so long
And I've gone wrong
Every place I've been
I left it all in Indian Queens
So I'm gonna go back
And see if it's still there
In Indian Queens
I left there age 18
And soon found myself on the pitching deck
Of a freighter bound for Panama
By way of Santa Martin
There I got in murderous fight
So I skipped north to Canada
I worked for a couple in Yellowknife
But the woman caused me to move on
I'm going back to Indian Queens
Cause its been so long
And I've gone wrong
Every other place I've been
I left it all in Indian Queens
So I'm gonna go back
And see if it's still there
In Indian Queens
Drinking and brawling I drifted south
Where I worked the rigs off Galveston
One day a shark took a diver's leg
And I dove in and drug him out
He said he'd leave me everything
But he died before he could sign a will
Now I'm going back to Indian Queens
To see what there's still there for me
I'm going back to Indian Queens
Cause its been so long
And I've gone wrong
Every other place I've been
I left it all in Indian Queens
So I'm gonna go back
And see if it's still there
In Indian Queens
