Liner Notes

#rockabilly #iowa #humor

My good friend @ahumburg made some funny comments on my song "Iowa is Okay", which made me want to write another Iowa song. So, here it is. Might be my first attempt at rockabilly.

Lyrics

I 35 is the biggest road around It'll take you from the 'sota south Missouri bound We want a road trip so let's hop in the car We can fill 'er way up at the first Kwik Star We'll road trip south, down Missouri bound

We try to get around when manure trucks drive too slow We'll pass a snow plow and a tractor row watch out for the buggy though the horse don't care Roll down the windows get a whiff of fresh air We’ll try to get around when manure trucks drive too slow

We'll see a farm farm here and a barn barn there Here a farm there a barn everywhere a barn farm Check out the beans, check out the tall, tall corn

Halfway thru we're passing thru Des Moines Where they got tall buildings and people got a lot of coin We don't really want to stop And everywhere we see a cop cop cop Let's drive on thru drive on past Des Moines

Well we want a Maid Rite but there’s not one in sight So we'll get a Krispy Kreme and it will be alright We got sticky fingers and a scotcharoo Let’s stop for an Iowa chop or two We want a Maid Rite but there’s not one in sight

Gonna drive, drive . Drive 35 Gonna drive 35 it’s the biggest road around

AWESOME!!! HA!!! The Old Macdonald break was such a stroke of brilliance. This is one of the most Iowa songs I've ever heard and it makes me proud to be an inspiration. Excellent lyrics, cadence, and all of the references. Stoopid good! HAHA!!
