Indianapolis Lyrics - Singles - The Bottle Rockets

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 

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 

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 

Sittin' in this bar 

Is gettin' more than I could stand 

If I could catch a ride 

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 

But 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 hands 

Of the boys, down at Firestone 

Stuck in Indianapolis 

Feelin' all alone 

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 

Is this Hell or Indianapolis 

With no way to get around
