Indiana Wants Me lyrics
by R. Dean Taylor

(sounds of a wailing police car siren)



Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

I wish I had you to talk to



If a man ever needed dyin', he did

No one had the right to say what he said about you

And it's so cold and lonely here without you

Out there, the law's a-comin'

I'm scared 'n so tired of runnin'



Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

I wish I had you to talk to



It hurts to see the man that I've become

And to know I'll never see the mornin' sunshine on the land

I'll never see your smilin' face or touch your hand

If just once more I could see

You, our home, and our little baby



Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there



(instrumental bridge, wailing police car siren)



I wish I had you to talk to



I hope this letter finds its way to you

Forgive me, love, for the shame I put you through and all the tears

Hang on, love, to the memories of those happy years

Red lights are flashin' around me

Yeah, love, it looks like they found me



Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

I wish I had you to talk to



Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there



(spoken as the last lines are sung)

This is the police. You are surrounded. Give yourself up.

This is the police. Give yourself up. You are surrounded.



(gunshots sound and song fades)
