[G] All right.
Got a tow [D] from a guy named [G] Joe.
[Am] Cost [A] $60, hope [C] I don't run out [G] of dough.
Told me about a sex offense, [D] put him three days in [G] jail.
[Am] Stuck in Indianapolis, hope [C] I live to tell [G] the tale.
Can't go west, [D] can't go east.
[Am] I'm stuck in Indianapolis with [C] a fuel pump that's [G] deceased.
Ten days on the road, now I'm [D] four hours from my hometown.
[Am] Is this hell or Indianapolis?
[C] With no way to get [G] around.
Called my girl to tell her [D] of the troubles that I had.
[Am] First time I called her in ten [C] days, guess that made [G] her mad.
Far as she's concerned to be [D] wrong in this Hoosier state.
[Am]
Stuck in Indianapolis [C] with no way to set [G] things straight.
Can't go west, [D] can't go east.
[Am] I'm stuck in Indianapolis [C] with a fuel pump that's [G]
deceased.
Ten days on the road, now I'm [D] four hours from my hometown.
[Am] Is this hell or Indianapolis?
[C] With no way to get [G]
around.
[D] [Am] [C]
[G] Settin' in this bar is [D] getting more than I could [G] stand.
[Am] If I could catch a ride, [C] really think I'd ditch [G] the van.
Who knows what this repair'll [D] cost?
Scared to spend a dime.
[A] I'll puke if that jukebox [C] plays John Cougar [G] one more time.
But if I ever leave [D] here, I hope never to [G] return.
[A] If I get that van [C] back, man, the road [G] I'm gonna burn.
Right now my future's in the [D] hands of the boys down at [Am] Firestone.
Stuck in Indianapolis, [C] feelin' [G] all alone.
Can't go west, [D]
can't go east.
[Am] I'm stuck in Indianapolis [C] with a fuel pump [G] that's deceased.
Ten days on the road, now I'm [D] four hours from my hometown.
[Am] Is this hell or Indianapolis?
With [C] no way to get [G] around.
Is [Am] this hell or Indianapolis?
[Em] With [C] no way [G] to get around.
[D] [A] [Bm] [D]
