Gary, Indiana Lyrics

A run down 78

Stalled past your block, an hour late

I think I've got the pushing down

I think you're coming around

We went to dinner for two

But your friend who stopped to pick you up

I don't remember

But I think he's invited too

And so I'm spending the night in Gary Indiana

You're welcome to come on over if you wanna

But I don't think that I'll see you

And I don't think I'm getting through

I went to pay with the smile wiped off my face

And a crumpled napkin in your place

But I never thought you would get that far

I stared down at the Nikes I got so you'd like me

But I could never run as fast as you'd like me

And they don't really fit me

And you don't really like me

And so I'm spending the night in Gary Indiana

You're welcome to come on over if you wanna

But I don't think that I'll see you

And I don't think I'm getting through

I drank the rest of the coffee in back

And went to get my life on track

But it seemed the keys just rattled

And the wheels spun like my head

And I don't see the bus to the leave

And I don't think you see, the kind of hold you have got on me

I'm alone in a motel in Gary Indiana

Think I'll order a movie in if I wanna

One I think that you'd like too

But the picture's not coming through

And so I'm spending the night in Gary Indiana

You're welcome to come on over if you wanna

But I don't think that I'll see you

And I don't think I'm getting through
