Dreams of Iowa
I believe I'm going
back to Iowa
Cos I was dreaming last night of Ma and Pa
In their little cabin by the Creek
I knew a peace of
mind
Nowadays I seek
And no sir!
I can't find it anywhere - so maybe in Iowa
Iowa!
Oh Iowa!
My home state - that's what you are
Generous folk with kindly thoughts
From Sioux City to Davenport
So I'm sat here strumming my guitar
Dreaming my dreams of Iowa
I want to feel the Mississippi mud
on my shoes
Bix Beiderbecke - I can hear you
I hear that cornet - 'Singing the bLues'
Got my ticket
- and I can't wait
I'm headed back to the Hawkeye State
Cos No sir!
I don't make sense anywhere
So maybe in Iowa - you and me can make it there
Iowa! Oh Iowa!
My home state - that's what you are
Generous folk with kindly thoughts
From Sioux City to Davenport
So I'm sat here strumming my guitar
Dreaming
my dreams of Iowa
