Why Indiana

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?
