iowa skies

oh my love never calls still hate cedar falls
well we drive and we drive, we never stay too long
cut the cards, cut the crap, blink your eye and we're gone
and the bright lights and shouting are too easy to believe
broken hearts and broken cars it's easy to deceive
oh my love never calls
and I still hate cedar falls
this highway goes on forever, it's flat and it's dry
we stopped talking 3 states ago, but she told me
over under the iowa sky

the first time that we came here, it was cute and it was quaint
that's when we were fresh in love, but now, we ain't
so we go on trying and trying each others nerves
wondering just what i did to get what i deserve
oh my love never calls and I still hate cedar falls

some might know your body and some might know your name
some might know your reputation and to some it's all the same
I try and do my job, but it's getting harder every day
now it's blood without the roses and it's me that's got to pay
oh my love never calls
and I still hate cedar falls
this highway goes on forever, it's flat and it's dry
we stopped talking 3 states ago, but she told me
over under the iowa sky
