Melissa Etheridge

She came into this world on a cold night
Indiana
Poppa turned his head and said I donââ?¬â?¢t believe sheââ?¬â?¢s mine
Single momma raised her in a place where you look but never touch
We donââ?¬â?¢t have enough
Donââ?¬â?¢t let your hopes get high
ââ?¬Ë?Cause girls like you canââ?¬â?¢t fly

Long nights, and small roads, big dreams
Oh Indiana
Youââ?¬â?¢re only dying here
And they donââ?¬â?¢t understand you
Tough road but you start slow and before you know it
Youââ?¬â?¢re not alone
Looking for a place called home anywhere
Oh Indiana

She tended bar in New York City
Oh Indiana
People turned their heads and said, ââ?¬Å?Baby, you sure look fineââ?¬
They put her on TV and then they told her ââ?¬Å?Youââ?¬â?¢re going to be a star,
You can go so farââ?¬
You let your hopes get high
ââ?¬Ë?Cause girls like you can fly

Long nights, and small roads, big dreams
Oh Indiana
Youââ?¬â?¢re only dying here and they donââ?¬â?¢t understand you
Tough road but you start slow and before you know it
Youââ?¬â?¢re not alone
Looking for a place called home anywhere
Oh Indiana

Big dreams are flying machines
And theyââ?¬â?¢ll take you wherever you want to go
Sometimes you find whatââ?¬â?¢s real is inside
And you donââ?¬â?¢t have to go away
To find your way home

She turned around and she stopped running
Oh Indiana
She found a place and the answer to her prayers
She found that answer in her children
When she takes them to the place
Where they can have some peace
She lets their hopes get high
ââ?¬Ë?Cause anyone, anyone can fly

Long nights, long nights, big dreams
Oh Indiana
Youââ?¬â?¢re only dying here and then they donââ?¬â?¢t understand you
Tough road but you start slow and before you know it
Youââ?¬â?¢re not alone
Looking for a place called home anywhere
Oh Indiana

Oh Indiana, Yeah
Sheââ?¬â?¢s going back to Indiana
Oh yeah, back to Indiana
