Melissa Etheridge - Indiana lyrics

She came to this world on a cold night Papa turned his head and said I don't believe she's mine Single momma raised her in a place where You can look but never touch Cause we don't have enough Don't let your hopes get high Cause girls like you can't fly Oh the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana She tended bar in New York City People turned their heads and said Baby you sure look fine They put her on TV and then they told her You're gonna be a star You can go so far Let your hopes get high Cause girls like you can fly In the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana Those big dreams are flying machines And they'll take you Wherever you want to go Sometimes you find that what's real is inside You don't have to go away To find your way home Oh Indiana She turned around and sshe topped running She saw that fame was never an answer to her prayers She found that answer in her children When she takes them to a place Where they can have so much She lets their hopes get high Cause anyone, anyone can fly In the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana Oh she's going back Oh oh oh
