The Truth About Iowa Lyrics - Stretch Arm Strong

Standing at a crossroad snow still falling down 

Misery loves company and a companion could be found 

What started as a conquest had ended in defeat 

The way we were, the things we said and all I won't repeat 

New years eve, ain't all its cracked up to be? 

I've seen the best and heard the worst and everything in between 

18 hrs is such a long, long time 

And the sting of painful words destroy us inside 

Our silence can say so much 

And our words pack a painful punch 

Nothing can take away the memories of that day 

And I was so sure that we'd fade away, fade away 

Adversity makes us stronger 

So can we make this last a little longer? 

Can we put aside the competition 

That resides in all of us, in all of us?
