Iowa Lyrics - Singles - Josh Tarp And The Still

I was born just west of the river 

Mississippi mud running in my veins 

On the road is where I found freedom 

In hotel rooms is where I found my peace 

I've spent my whole life running 

From Iowa 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be a long way home 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take my heart and soul 

My heart and soul 

We started out before I started school 

Mom and dad said, 

"we're headed south, we're gonna move" 

I hung on, for a year or two after 

But I forgot, that house on Trail Ridge Road 

I've spent my whole life running 

From Iowa 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be a long way home 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take my heart and soul 

My heart and soul 

I only see her now, in memory 

Or in the night on a long drive through 

Some day I'll pull off the road 

Somewhere near East Des Moines 

And I'll find that little church 

Where my family filled the pews 

I've spent my whole life running 

From Iowa 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be a long way home 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take my heart and soul 

My heart and soul 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be 

It's gonna be a long way home 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take 

It's gonna take my heart and soul 

My heart and soul
