[Chorus]
The midwest is a tar pit
It seems like no one ever really finds a way out
Indiana is a tar pit
At this point, i can feel it flowing into my mouth
The midwest is a tar pit
It seems like no one ever really finds a way out
Indiana is a tar pit
At this point, i can feel it flowing into my mouth

[Verse]
But i won't die here!
I refuse to!
I won't let it steal my youth
I had one thing
Keeping me here
And now she's gone, too

[Bridge]
I hope she's resting peacefully
I hope she's having better dreams than me

I dial her number without thinking
In the morning as i turn on the tv

But i don't think she's ever answering
I don't think she's ever answering
[Post-Chorus]
'cause the midwest is a tar pit
I miss her more like everyday
Indiana is a tar pit
Why does it take the things that i love away?
