Indiana Lyrics by Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek

​a-sides

2014

[Verse 1: Adrianne Lenker]
Daddy wanted me to leave it
Indiana, Indiana in the cold
Said, "You know you really don't need it
Leave the fame for the road"
I remember when I was leaving
I was only six years old
Oh, how my heart was beating
About ready to explode
[Chorus: Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek]
One shot, honey, collect it all
The dust inside the rusted souls
You should get a ride 'cause you can't control
The heart that beats under the bone
Come on, my combat chameleon
Give it up, you've got your life to attend to
Buttercup, you're entertaining the talk
That is told through the teeth of the mouths of the millions
Dyin' to meet ya
Little do they know
[Verse 2: Adrianne Lenker]
The Mississippi River won't kill ya
'Less you stand too close, my dear
Take you to Louisiana
A long, long way from here
And the war's been a long time coming
Yes, a long, long war's gonna come
We're standing at the end of a story
At the foot of a palindrome
[Chorus: Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek]
One shot, honey, collect it all
The dust inside the rusted souls
You should get a ride 'cause you can't control
The heart that beats under the bone
Come on, my combat chameleon
Give it up, you've got your life to attend to
Buttercup, you're entertaining the talk
That is told through the teeth of the mouths of the millions
Dyin' to meet ya
Little do they know
