Under The Iowa Sky
[Verse 1]
There's a gentle breeze across the golden fields
On this late summer's day
And the old boys are playin' cards
Down at Hazel's Cafe

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I walk past the row of white picket fences
This moment in time is fillin' up my senses
Ooh, like it was yesterday

[Chorus]
Ooh, whoa, time's been slippin' by away from me
From school pep rallies and pecan pies to pop-star wannabe
But I can still hear, when I close my eyes
That soothing cricket lullaby
Under the Iowa sky

[Verse 2]
Star-struck at sixteen, had to get away
From that Midwestern town
So I placed my bets and packed my bags
Sure got myself around
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My heart's been broken blow by blow
I've prayed without faith and paid without dough
Whoa, each time seemed like I was homeward-bound

[Chorus]
Whoa, time's been slippin' by away from me
From school pep rallies and pecan pies to pop-star wannabe
But I can still hear, when I close my eyes
That soothing cricket lullaby
Under the Iowa sky

[Bridge]
Some memories will give you sleepless nights
Then others keep you strong and let you put up a good fight

[Chorus + Outro]
Whoa, time, time keeps slippin' away from me
I'm a country girl whose city life is right now what she needs
Though I can still hear, when I close my eyes
Yeah, I can still hear when I close my eyes
I still hear, when I close my eyes
That soothing cricket lullaby
Under the Iowa sky
Under the Iowa sky
Yeah, yeah
