Bottle Rockets Indianapolis Lyrics

Indianapolis Lyrics

Got a tow from a guy named Joe

Cost sixty dollars hope I don't run out of dough

Told me bout a sex offense 'put him three days in jail

Stuck in Indianapolis, hope I live to tell the tale



[Chorus]

Can't go west, can't go east

I'm stuck in Indianapolis with a fuel pump that's deceased

Ten days on the road now I'm four hours from my home town

Is this hell or Indianapolis with no way to get around



Called my girl to tell her of the trouble that I'd had

First time I called her in ten days, guess that made her mad

Far as she's concerned I belong in this Hoosier state

Stuck in Indianapolis with no way to set things straight



[Chorus]



Sitting in this bar is getting more than I can stand

If I could catch a ride I really think I'd ditch this van

Who knows what this repair will cost, scared to spend a dime

I'll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time



If I ever leave here I hope never to return

If I get that van back, Man, the road I'm gonna burn

Right now my future's in the hand of them boys down at Firestone

Stuck in Indianapolis feeling all alone



[Chorus]

Is this hell or Indianapolis with no way to get around
